what medications does yellow syrup vc contain? is it an opiate? what is the difference between yellow, red and purple cough syrup? ## From what I could gather, every 5 mL (teaspoon) of Promethazine VC Syrup is listed as containing: 6.25 mgs of Promethazine hydrochloride + 5 mgs of Phenylephrine hydrochloride + Alcohol 7% NOTE (neither drug is an opiate): -Promethazine is in a class of drugs called antihistamines. -Phenylephrine is in a class of drugs called nasal decongestants. I'm unaware of all the different colors that may be available, but for your own verification, the inactive ingredients present in this particular product are: "Apricot peach flavor, ascorbic acid, citric acid, FD&C yellow #6, menthol, methylparaben, propylene glycol, propylparaben, purified water, sac...

does cheratussin look niqrathin, or like a syrup ## Cheratussin ac has a thick liquid viscosity. A possible comparison is that it's thinner and runs quicker than maple syrup but thicker than fruit juice. That's the best analogy I can put together for it. If you happen to stop by your local pharmacy, just pick up a bottle of Robitussin cough syrup and it's pretty much the same consistency. The inactive ingredients in Cheratussin AC contain: alcohol, caramel, citric acid, FD&C red #40, flavor, glycerin, menthol racemic, purified water, saccharin sodium, sodium benzoate, sorbitol solution ....So it will likely be a light reddish pink color, judging from the Red dye they put in it. You can view the packaging label of Cheratussin AC by following the link below: I hope this in...

Hi, Thank you for the help. I am suffering with GERD since quite some time. Earlier days I used to have some heart burn and it would relieve from anti-acid tables and syrups. However, from past 2-3 years the acid reflux has become worse, with lot of choking sensation in throat, heaviness in throat, un-easiness in breathing and it gets worse when I go for bed, each time I need to cough and drink water to make my-self a bit comfortable. This sensation remains most of the day when I take some citric foods and in nights I can’t sleep. I tried elevating the front portion of bed and going for bed 2 hours after a meal, however, these artifacts were proved to be of not much help. I am on Neksium 40mg daily one before food and Gaviscon syrup after food only at night, this table relieves th...

Does Phenergan with codeine contain any form of soy as an inactive ingredient? ## Hi Linda, Based on my research, Phenergan + Codeine (manufactured by Actavis) does not appear to contain any type of soy or soy derivatives. So you should be fine in that regard. For your own verification, this particular medication contains the following list of inactive ingredients: D&C Red #33, FD&C Blue #1, Citric acid, corn syrup, flavor, propylene glycol, saccharin sodium, propylparaben, methylparaben, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate, and purified water. You can also learn more about this drug on the page for Phenergan Details I hope this info helps!
