cold and cough ## i am taking this liquid syrup for my chest and head cold and would like to know what the medicine that are in the syrup. thanks! ## From what I can find this contains the active ingredients Guaifenesin and Hydrocodone, so it is an expectorant and cough suppressant. The Hydrocodone is a narcotic, so it does have the potential to be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. You can learn more Guaifenesin details here and you can learn more Hydrocodone details here. Are there any questions or comments? Is there anything I can help with?

Chlorpheniramine + Hydrocodone + Pseudoephedrine

Cold medicines are a group of medications taken individually or in combination as a treatment for the symptoms of the common cold and similar conditions of the upper respiratory tract. The term encompasses a broad array of drugs, including analgesics, antihistamines and decongestants, among many others. It also includes drugs which are marketed as cough suppressants or antitussives, but their effectiveness in reducing cough symptoms is unclear or minimal.[1][2]...

Gold, Liquid ## Tussinex For cough It is the only thing that works. Take at night when you have a cough that keeps you from reasting. Why is so expensive? ## Who manufactures Tussinex? My husband has pulmonary fibrotic Disease and this is the only cough syrup that works for him, however it has now been raised to double the cost; going from generic to brand name. ## Can't find Dr Who will prescribe only cerrytussin basically robitussin NO GOOD doesn't help one bit!!in OKC OK.

how strong is tussionex ext rel sus? is is stronger than last one i got that said hycodone? ## Hello, Richard! How are you? Without knowing the dosages, I can't answer that. What is the dosage on the prescription? Tussionex also contains Hydrocodone with Chlorpheniramine, so it's likely close to what you've taken before. The FDA lists this medication as being a cough suppressant, but it does contain a narcotic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation.

Heavy cough ## I was prescribed Tussionex syrup for an acute bronchial infection, along with an antibiotic and an inhalant. I took the Tussionex before I went to bed, and was not able to sleep a wink all night. I had a similar reaction to another cold medication about 5 years ago. Is this common? Have others reported this? ## how do you treat Tracheitis? ## I TOOK IT FOR 3 MONTHS WHEN I HAD WHOOPING COUGH LAST YEAR. I AM 70 YRS OLD. IT IS THE BEST THING TO STOP A COUGH SO I COULD GET SOME SLEEP. I WENT TO THE ER at the hospital. The ER doctor said it was the best cough medicine there is. I finally could sleep. My own doctor did not want to prescribe it as it has narcotic or something but it is the only thing that helps.It is available and Tussionex works. ## Lu (# 1) - That has happened...

I have taken TUSSIONEX several times when I've had bronchitis. It really breaks up the congestion and helps with the cough. I got a bottle today and the consistency is like Water. My resolved has always been a thick consistency and gritty. I think it was watered down. ## Hi Debe, Given my past experience with cough syrup over the last 10-15 years, I've noticed similar discrepancies in other syrups (both OTC and Rx). In my two recent encounters, the codeine cough syrup my wife was prescribed also appeared watered down vs the last time I saw a bottle. Her OTC robitussin has seemingly been watered down as well. One thing I will state is that it has been several years since I had last seen or used any form of cough syrup prior to this year....but the thing is, it used to be soooo th...

I was originally prescribed hydromet which I know has a narcotic in it the pharmacy gave me chlo tuss liquid! From my research this product has no narcotic in it. It was originally prescribed to relieve my cough at bedtime and help me sleep. Please help is this the same or was I dooped at my pharmacy and this has no pain reliever!!! ## Amber, Chlo tuss liquid does NOT contain hydrocodone nor any other opiate type preparation. Your prior rx contained hydrocodone and was far more powerful.Chlo tuss is indicated for dry unproductive cough and is non habit forming. Hope that helps answer your question. ## Amber, Are you sure it was the pharmacy that substituted your rx for hydromet? This cough syrup is indicated for short term relief only most PHYSCIANS are uncomfortable continuing to rx th...

Where can I purchase this online?? The syrup makes my dog ill will the tablet form cause less stomach upset?WAJ ## Where can I buy Tussigon without a precription? ## Joan, to be honest, I don't know how it would affect your dog. Our information pertains to the use of prescription medications in humans and I am not familiar with their use in animals. Have you consulted your vet? Brownie, since Tussigon contains Homatropine and Hydrocodone, it requires a prescription, for both veterinary and human use. Are there any comments or questions?
