Bromphenir Pseudoephed For Cough

Does this medication help relieve fluid in ears? Can it be used nightly for 1-2 weeks to help eliminate fluid in the ears of a 55 lb, 5-1/2 yr old? ## The active ingredients listed (Brompheniramine and Pseudoephedrine) are found in a number of medications. One brand is Bromfed-DM syrup (NDC 54868-6377) which also contains Dextromethorphan. It's a combination cough suppressant, antihistamine, and decongestant for treating symptoms of the common cold, flu, & allergies. In reading the product label (PDF) for Children's Dimetapp Cold & Allergy (which contains Phenylephrine instead of Pseudoephedrine), it says that it is not indicated for children under 6 years of age. It sounds like your son is pretty close to the minimum age. What I'd recommend is getting it cleared by ...

My son is 9 yrs old and weighs 89 lbs. How much Brompheniramine-DM should I administer and how often can I give it to him? ## What is Brompheniramine-Pseudoephedrine-DM syrup used for?

Has Lodrane 24 has been discontinued and if so, why? ## expexted mid to late 2012. Regarding Lodrane 24 and Lodrane 24D availability: March 2, 2011 the FDA published a notice that some 500 cough/cold/allergy products were to cease manufacturer distribution on August 31, 2011. Our three Lodrane products (Lodrane 24, Lodrane 24D, and Lodrane 12D) were included in this notice. This notice was not a product recall and there were no safety issues with our products. We now have an immediate-release, over-the-counter product available, Lodrane D Capsules. I've attached product labeling for Lodrane D Capsules. Lodrane D Capsules contain the same antihistamine (brompheniramine) and the same decongestant (pseudoephedrine) that were in Lodrane 12D and Lodrane 24D (Lodrane 24 did not contain a ...
