Description
Promethazine Hydrochloride and Codeine Phosphate oral solution syrup is a prescription cough medicine used for the temporary relief of cough and upper respiratory symptoms caused by allergies or the common cold. It combines promethazine, an antihistamine that helps reduce runny nose, sneezing, and other allergy-type symptoms, with codeine, an opioid cough suppressant that helps decrease coughing.
This medicine is usually given as an oral solution or syrup and is intended for short-term use only. It is generally reserved for adults when a doctor believes the benefits outweigh the risks, because codeine can cause dependence, misuse, and serious breathing problems.
Promethazine blocks histamine effects, which can reduce symptoms like sneezing, itchy throat, and runny nose. Codeine acts on the brain to suppress the cough reflex, which can help calm persistent, dry coughs
