If it is a dry cough ( no mucus, just scratching of your throat ) Than just fluids and cough drops ( it stays closer to your throat and will relieve it)
If there is mucus in your chest, try a hot shower to open up it up and lots of water and, if it's Allergies, benadryl . If not than some DayQuil..
PLENTY OF SLEEP
Hope this helps, Does for me. (:
codeine
Nowhere, codeine is a prescription only medication in all states.
Where are you....that is important bc I can only tell you about Louisiana
It is good until the expiration date marked on the bottle
IF you take an overdose, the cough medicine could have an alternative reaction to your body.
You can test positive for narcotics, which codeine is. If you have been taking codeine, it's helpful to have a doctor's note and evidence of a prescription to show that your narcotics use is legit and not illegal drug abuse.
I know that Alpharma and Actavis are supposed to be the strongest of the cough syrups and that Acatavis bought out Alpharma and recently discontinued their Promethazine with Codeine syrup, but why are they the strongest? Why exactly are they the best if all of the different brands of cough syrup contain the same amount of promethazine and codeine as the next. If someone could elaborate on this, it'd be a great help. Thanks!
yes
NO. The dm in the promethazine IS dextromethorphan , so you would be double dosing .
Codeine should not be used to help children sleep. Unless it is to suppress a cough that keeps them awake.
Since codeine is a narcotic, you can only get it in the US with a prescription, whether it's in a cough syrup, pill form, etc. There are NO narcotics, or compound meds with a narcotic in them that can be bought OTC. You have to have a doctor's prescription to get it.
Phenergan or Phenergan with codeine ? Either way , follow the dosage recommendations. Do not exceed them without consulting your doctor. Phenergan plain is more to thin secretions, so increase fluids. Phenergan w/codeine is to suppress cough. DO NOT take Phenergan w/ codeine with other cough syrup with dextromethorphan, also a cough supressant . You WILL get sick to you stomach. Try a tablespoon of honey to help supress the cough , if you have no food allergies.
