Throat hurts when I breathe and open my mouth. I can barely brush my teeth without it hurting. ## Hello, Donquez! How are you? Has this medication been prescribed for you?

this drug was prescribed for constant coughing. If you have high blood pressure is this drug ok to take? ## Is promethazine vc/ co promethazine with codeine? ## does the cought medicine promethazine with codeine raises blood pressure? ## There is a chance that the Promethazine could raise your blood pressure, thus I'd suggest not taking it, unless your doctor has specifically said that it's okay for you to do so. These antihistamines are something that you have to be careful with. You can learn more Promethazine details here. Alternatively, if your blood pressure is under control or low, then you'll likely also have to check about using this due to the Codeine in it. Narcotics can cause depression of the central nervous system, which could cause your blood pressure to fall t...

I'm having problems getting my prescriptions filled at cvs because the pharmacist doesn't feel comfortable filling it. I have been prescribed promethazineDM for over a year now but my allergies have been so bad I had to start getting the codeine instead of the DM. The pharmacist said that I have been prescribed the medication too much but this is only my 3rd prescription with the codeine and they all have only been 4oz each. The last time I had it filled at cvs has been over a month ago and they still won't fill it because they said I need refills or a bigger amount instead of bringing a new script every couple of weeks.. can someone please give me any advise it would be greatly appreciated. ## Codeine is an opiate narcotic, it is used to alleviate pain and will not actually...

I want to know what codeine is and how much is in this cough medicine? ## Without knowing more details, I can't say what the dosage is of either ingredient in this cough syrup, since there are several dosages available. However, I can give some more basic details. Codeine is a narcotic, which can effectively help to suppress coughing and the Promethazine is an antihistamine. Are there any questions? Feel free to post and ask! There are more Codeine details available here and there are more Promethazine details available here. ## Hey bro, are u in Houston?

177 TL ## I need a refill for promethazine with codeine vc purple cough syrup but am not sure what limit my doctor imposes. ## I just got a codeine and promethazine bottle - how long do i have to wait before I refill it? Due to the fact it fell over in my sink and all of it drained away :( ## Please help me find actavis, its the only brand that works for me. Also, i have certain allergies. ## What doctor prescribed it to you? did you have to wait 3 days for refill? ## If you're looking to refill your prescription it should say on the printout how long your current supply is intended to last, and then you'd probably need to follow up with your doctor so they can call a refill in if needed. Although because this medication contains a narcotic ingredient I doubt they would allow lo...

Syrup first sub next 20 30 mins bluuh. Precip wds? ## Hello, Jim! How are you? No, neither the Dextromethorphan nor Promethazine are listed as being known to cause such in conjunction with the Suboxone, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. But neither are narcotics of any type. The FDA classifies Suboxone as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. The other is a cold remedy and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. Were they both prescribed for you?

Can promethazine be taken while on methodone? ## Hello, Vicki! How are you? Generally, it is best to avoid this combination. The both tend to increase the QTc interval of the heart, which could be dangerous. The FDA classifies Methadone as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Did your doctor prescribe them both?

I'm wondering if there are any interactions between my hydroco-acet 5-325 and promethazine 25 mg. ## No, there should not be any adverse interactions with these 2 medications. Promethazine, which is an anti-nausea drug, is often combined with narcotics to reduce nausea and as a boost for the pain reliever. You should be fine. The only thing that would be a problem is an allergic reaction to one or both medications. ## Hello, Jen! How are you? Actually, there is one concern listed in the databases, due to the fact that both medications can cause sedation, so taking them together can cause a cumulative effect. You may find yourself very drowsy and dizzy, which could affect your ability to drive, operate machinery and etc. Thus, you need to be aware of this and be careful. Are there an...

pain for oral surgery. would like to know what is in them because they make me disoriented. ## meperidine is Demerol, a narcotic painkiller. Promethazine is an anti-psychotic, more often prescribed as a tranquilizer ## Promethazine IS NOT an antipsychotic! Promethazine is an antihistamine/anitemetic used to treat allergic reactions and prevent nausea. That is why, in the case of this pill, it is coupled with the narcotic, to help prevent nausea as a side effect! ## VERWON - if you do the research you'll see that it was ORIGINALLY prescribed as an anti-psycotic ## And it is no longer approved for that use!

Does hydrocodone and chlorpheniram have the same chemical in them ## The answer to your question is no. Hydrocodone and Chlorpheniramine have completely different chemical structures and are prescribed for different purposes as individual medications. There is however a liquid combination of Chlorpheniramine + Hydrocodone that is marketed as a narcotic antitussive (cough suppressant) and antihistamine combination. The antitussive (codeine) works by suppressing the cough center in the brain. The antihistamine (promethazine) works by blocking the action of histamine, which reduces the symptoms of an allergic reaction such as itch, watery eyes and runny nose.
