Histatussin

Last night, my son had a nose bleed. After I got the bleeding to stop by pinching his nose for about 8 to 10 minutes his sinuses then drained. He's been on Histatussin for three days now. Is this normal? My son is 7 yrs old and he also has a sinus condition. My local pharmacist recommended this medicine, Histatussin. Is this good for sinus for a child of his age?

I'm a concerned dad from jamaica and want to know what histatussin is? ## From what I can discover, Histatussin contains Chlorpheniramine and Ephedrine, it is commonly used to treat cold and allergy symptoms. Side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and nervousness. Ephedrine was banned in the U.S., because it can cause cardiac problems, by accelerating the heart rate and blood pressure. Razo D contains 30mgs of Domperidone and 20mgs of Rabeprazole, it is used to reduce the amount of acid the stomach products, to treat conditions such as GERD and ulcers.

I would like to know where I can find Histatussin for Adults either in my area or on the web. I live in Port St. Lucie Florida ## Hello, Carole! How are you? From what I can find, Histatussin isn't available in the U.S. It contains Chlorpheniramine and Ephedrine, the latter of which can be very dangerous, so such formulations have been banned here. Learn more Chlorpheniramine details here. Learn more Ephedrine details here. Thus, ordering it would also not be permitted. Is there anything else I can help with?

I suffer with high blood pressure and right now I have a bad cough and cold. Is it safe to take the cough medication Histatussin? ## Hello, Jim! How are you? If this formulation of Histatussin still contains Ephedrine, then no, it is not safe to take if you have high blood pressure. Have you consulted your doctor? They should be able to advise you in regards to something that would be safe for you to use.
