Dilaudid 1mg/5ml Cough Syr

Dilaudid cough syrup in the USA and Canada is a scheduled II controlled drug as it has 1 mg of hydromorohone per 5ml of cough solution .. It never was over the counter in the last 50+ yrs... You may be confused with some Meds like robitussin AC which has only 10mg of CODIENE in it per 30ml of syrup and thus is a controlled 5 script and you can sign for it at some states pharmacy counter!!

I'm not sure who suggested otherwise to you, but Dilaudid Cough Syrup (guaifenesin + hydromorphone) is definitely regarded as a controlled substance - available by prescription-only. Perhaps other countries are more liberal about its presence over the counter, due to the guaifenesin, but at least here in the US it requires a doctor's script (probably because of dilaudid's high potential for abuse).

Guaifenesin is used in the treatment of coughing, but the drug has numerous other uses, including medical, veterinary, and personal.

Dilaudid is used to relieve moderate to severe pain as well as severe, painful dry coughing.

You can learn more about each drug on the page for Dilaudid Details and Guaifenesin Details

I hope this info helps!
