Promethazine Yellow

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 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?

Closest I can find is a Promethazine Hydrochloride. Looks exactly the same, but white. ## Hi Tina, Looks like the closest match I could find is also the white version of that tablet; being Promethazine HCL. However, I did come across a yellow pill with a very similar marking. It has an "M" on one side and "P/T" on the other. Unfortunately there's no numbers though, so maybe this can at least help to narrow down your search. The pill itself is identified as Acetaminophen (325 mg) + Tramadol HCL (37.5 mg), made by Mylan Pharma. Does anyone else know what the peach pill might be?

small round pill with flat edges yellowish or possibly pink Gg was at the top 226 at bottom, scored on that side nothing on other. ## small round white pill with flat edges GG was at the top 226 at bottom, scored on that side nothing on other side ## Was the marking possibly GG 225? That is the closest I can find. It is now manufactured by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 25mgs of Promethazine, which is most commonly used to treat, or prevent nausea, and vomiting. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, and headache. Can you please double check the imprint and post back?

gg235 ## If the pill is pink and really says GG 235 then it IS NOT oxycontin, rather it is generic promethazine 50mg, generic for Phenergan. It is an antihistamine typically used to control moderate to severe nausea among other things. Side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, among other side effects. ## Also, there are several generic forms of oxycontin 40mg now so it would be hard to pull up each picture. I can tell you that each company is trying to keep the same color as the original, kind of a yellow color. Hope this helps. ## A round pink tablet with GG over 235 on one side is manufactured by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, and they list it as containing 50mgs of Promethazine, which is most commonly used to help treat, or prevent, nausea, and vomiting.
