Tussinex

cough syrup ## need usual dosages of tussionex, am transcriptionist and cannot understand the dosage he is dictating. ## Hi Silvergale, According to EmedTV.com, If you are using Tussionex to suppress a cough or other upper respiratory symptoms caused by allergies or the common cold, the typical recommended dose is one teaspoonful every 12 hours. However, the Tussionex dosage is lower for children ages 6 to 11, as well as for elderly people, who may be more sensitive to the medication. The dosage also depends on other medications you are currently taking. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Tussionex Details Please post back if you have any more questions, I hope this info helps!

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.

Tussinex and Tussincaps are already on the market and while it does work to calm cough its become notorious for the high it gives since the antihistamine in it potetiates the hydrocodone! it should be taken off the market since any opiod drug can suppress coughing and sneezing and they arent as mind altering as this combo! ## Based on my research, both of these drugs do interact with one another. Quoted below are the precautions that more people should be aware of: "Using Chlorpheniramine together with Hydrocodone may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Avoid driving or operat...

I saw a doc on the box today and Walgreens will not prescribe my usually cough med tussinex my dr was booked until Tuesday. I have bronchitis double ear infection and sinitis. The gave me brofam but it is not numbing my throat or suppressing my cough long enough.

Does this medicine have real codeine or synthetic? I am allergic to the real stuff but I can take meds like vicodin & darvocet. ## Tussionex contains Chlorpheniramine and Hydrocodone, the same narcotic as that in Vicodin, so no, it doesn't contain regular Codeine. Side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I have a tropical flavored hydrocodone-apap liquid but it doesn't say the strength?!! How much wud I need to take to equal 1 yellow 10/325 norco? It says take 1 teaspoon every 4-6 hrs for cough. Or am I way off and the whole bottle won't equal 1? Lol ## The bottle should have the amount of medication in 5 cc's on the bottle. Are there any numbers on the bottle after the name of the medication ? ## If it's hydrocodone/acetaminophen sol, it's 7.5/325 per 15 ml meaning 7.5 mgs hydrocodone, 325 Tylenol if it's the new sol, older formula has 500mg acetaminophen(Tylenol) so you would need 20ml to get 10mg. Be careful of Tylenol tho. New recommended dose is 3000mg per day. Now if its cough syrup, it's tussinex , is it super thick? That's 10mg hydrocodone per 5 m...
