I'm not needing to take Hydrocodone/chlorpheniramine cough syrup at the moment. Can I store the bottle in the refrigerator just in case I may need it? Thank you. ## Hello, Don! How are you? Only until the expiration date. Liquids tend to degrade faster than other forms, so you can't really extend its shelf life. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

My sister is getting married on Saturday. I took a spoonful of Hydrocodone / Chlorpheniramine ER and was wondering if I could drink beer at her wedding on Saturday? I take 5 milliliters every 12 hours. ## It is the Hydrocodone that is the main concern here, since it is known to react with alcohol far more than the Chlorpheniramine, according to FDA reports. It could cause you to experience more severe side effects than usual, such as dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, sedation, and headache. Unfortunately, you did not list the time frame in between drinking and taking the medication. Can you post back and be more specific? Thank you! ## How long does 10 ml of chlorpheniramine maleate stay in your system? ## Depends if you're a fast or slow metabolizer. On average it's about 5 days. ...

There is no expiration date on this cough medicine. It is hydrocodone-chlorpheniram that was filled on 9/2/14. Is this still safe to take? ## Hi Jackie, According to studies represented by Harvard University and the LA Times Newspaper, hydrocodone can reportedly last anywhere from 10-40 years past the expiration date, depending on the conditions in which it is stored. Chlorpheniramine on the other hand is something I'm not so sure of (when it comes to long term studies); however, GlaxoSmithKline a UK-based drug manufacturer denotes a shelf life of 3 years for their Chlorpheniramine tablets. I understand that your product is liquid rather than a tablet, but if it were me in this position I'd probably feel some sense of security if it were stored in a cool, dry and dark environmen...

Does hydrocodone and chlorpheniram have the same chemical in them ## The answer to your question is no. Hydrocodone and Chlorpheniramine have completely different chemical structures and are prescribed for different purposes as individual medications. There is however a liquid combination of Chlorpheniramine + Hydrocodone that is marketed as a narcotic antitussive (cough suppressant) and antihistamine combination. The antitussive (codeine) works by suppressing the cough center in the brain. The antihistamine (promethazine) works by blocking the action of histamine, which reduces the symptoms of an allergic reaction such as itch, watery eyes and runny nose.
