If so, please post back! ## It's yellow gold in color and a thick consistency until you shake it up then it's becomes thin or it was back in the day. I had a habit behind Tussionex like opiates.

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? I'm interested in knowing what doctor prescribed the codeine in 6.25 mg per teaspoon? ## This is the first time I've received Promethazine PE Codeine Syrup with the letters PE. It is also rather yellow. Does it have the sam...

I have several hydroc/apap prescriptions (syrup), and I can't remember if they are cough suppressants or not. I don't want to take it for my back pain if it is a cough syrup. I can't swallow pills, so I get the syrup form, and I don't want to take a cough syrup. The liquid is yellowish. Can anyone help me decipher the label? What does ELXQUAL mean? Also, how strong is one teaspoon...what pill strength would you compare it to. ## Hydrocodone with APAP (Acetaminophen) is used to treat both pain, and as a cough suppressant. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, and dry mouth. The other abbreviations just stand for the type of mix, and the manufacturer. How much have you bee...

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...
