What pharmacy companies manufactured and produced promethazine codeine? Is Watson one of them? ## @bankrolled, From what I could gather, promethazine codeine (phenergan w/ codeine) is or was being manufactured by the following pharmaceutical companies: Alpharma Actavis (NDC is 0472-1627-16) Tris Pharma Inc. (NDC is 27808-065-01) Sun Pharma Inc. (NDC is 57664-185-31) Qualitest Pharma (NDC is 0603-1585-58) Hi-Tech Pharma I didn't see Watson listed, but Actavis bought them out a long time ago, so I'd imagine that their version ended up taking Watson's place. Apparently they came in one pint (473 mL) bottles. I hope this info helps!

I think your best bet for up to date product details may be to contact Teva directly a...

Is Watson a good brand? Does it have codeine in it and did it take over Actavis? ## Hello, Dj! How are you? What are the markings on the tablet in question? This information is what would enable me to check the details for you. The FDA classifies Promethazine as an antihistamine that is most commonly used to treat allergies, nausea and vomiting. Its typical side effects may possibly include dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. ## Watson didn't take over Activas, Activas took over Watson. ## Actually pharma giant Watson inc. purchased the small europeon pharma company called Actavis and then changed the company's name to Actavis. In March 2015 Actavis purchased a company called Allergan and plan to change their name to Allergan. ## My question is, are the square bottles of Amneal...
