Chlorpheniramine Polistirex + Hydrocodone Polistirex

Chlorphenamine (CP, CPM), also known as chlorpheniramine, is an antihistamine used to treat the symptoms of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever).[2] It is taken by mouth.[2] The medication takes effect within 2 hours and lasts for about 4-6.[2] Common side effects include sleepiness, restlessness, and weakness.[2] Other side effects may include dry mouth and wheeziness.[2] It is a first-genera...

COUGH MEDICINE ## The antihistamine in Tussi Caps can be purchased OTC at Walgreens. 8 or 10 mg of Codeine can be gotten in Robotussin with Codeine, in some stores also over the counter! No reason to be overpricing this medication! Just a way to gouge consumers!

TussiCap is a brand new medication in capsule form. It has 10 mg of Hydrocodone and 8 mg of a drug I'm not familiar with. The drug without inurance in $600.00!!!!! I got it for 25 bucks ## Wow! I'm very glad that the coupon saved you so much money, that's a crazy price. The other ingredient is the antihistamine Chlorpheniramine. The FDA lists the possible side effects to this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, drowsiness and constipation. It also carries the risk of being habit forming. Is there anything I can help with? ## I have insurance and my doctor wrote me a prescription for Tussi caps. I also gave the pharmacist a discount card so my co-pay would be $25. When I went to pick it up she told me it would be $2000 for 20 pills. So therefore I c...

looking for a full list of pain medications ## I'm not sure how complete this list may be, but posted below are quite a few prescription pain medications I came across (as of 2012). Some of these drugs could've been discontinued or repackaged under different brand names since then: 1. Codeine: Tylenol 3, Fioricet with codeine, hundreds of codeine-containing cough syrups 2. Hydrocodone: Vicodin, Vicoprofen, Lortab, Lorcet, Norco, Polytussin, Tussionex, TussiCaps, Hycodan, Endal HD (FDA recently pulled many of the HC-containing cough syrups off the market) 3. Oxycodone: Percocet, Percodan, Oxycontin, Tylox, Endocet, Roxicodone 4. Hydromorphone: Dilaudid, Dilaudid-HP (high potency), Palladone, Hydromorph-contin, Dilaudid Cough Syrup 5. Morphine sulfate: MS Contin, Kadian, Avinza, O...

how long does tussicaps stay in your system? ## Hi Leelee, Tussicaps contain the active ingredients: Hydrocodone + Chlorpheniramine The terminal elimination half-life of Chlorphenamine is reportedly around 20 hours; while for Hydrocodone the average half-life is about 4 hours. Half-life here means that, say, 20 hours after ingesting Tussicaps, half of the active amount will be gone. This doesn't mean that 20 hours later, though, the other half will be gone. At that point half of the remainder will be gone, then another half after the same time interval, and so on, until the drug is eliminated from the body. I've heard that it can take about 5 half-lives for a drug to be completely out of your system. So depending on the dose taken, I'd imagine that it could be a couple weeks...
