cough syrup ## need usual dosages of tussionex, am transcriptionist and cannot understand the dosage he is dictating. ## Hi Silvergale, According to EmedTV.com, If you are using Tussionex to suppress a cough or other upper respiratory symptoms caused by allergies or the common cold, the typical recommended dose is one teaspoonful every 12 hours. However, the Tussionex dosage is lower for children ages 6 to 11, as well as for elderly people, who may be more sensitive to the medication. The dosage also depends on other medications you are currently taking.

Is this good for what kind of pain? ## From what I was able to gather, I believe Tussionex Ext Rel Sus Medeva has the active ingredients Chlorpheniramine and Hydrocodone. Hydrocodone or dihydrocodeinone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from two of the naturally occurring opiates, codeine and thebaine. Hydrocodone is an orally active narcotic analgesic (pain reliever) and antitussive (cough suppressant). To learn more click on the link below... Do you have any more questions or information to add?

My rx exp, my dr want vrenew, sill have prsistent interrupting when imgiving talks. Tried other recommnded. Meds,nohing works as efficient. Can i get it somehow without rx, im willing. Topay independntly ## Can i purchaase online without a rx ## Not legally. But I am not sure I understand what type of problem you are having. What is persistently interrupting when you're giving talks? Learn more Tussionex details here. And what type of doctor are you seeing for the problem? Your doctor may not want to keep prescribing it, because in many cases long-term reliance on such a medication makes your body get accustomed to having it and it basically forgets how to handle such issues on its own.

how many mg of hydrocodone are in each teaspoon of Tussionex ext-rel sus medeva? ## Tussionex contains Chlorpheniramine and Hydrocodone. Is your dosage listed on the packaging? From the information I am finding, the regular, adult formulation contains 8mgs of Chlorpheniramine and 10mgs of Hydrocodone, per teaspoon. The Hydrocodone is a narcotic, so you may experience side effects such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation. ## I thought tussionex had codine in it. Is hydrocodone the same thing only the generic for it? and is there any tylenon in plain tussionex thanks ## 1 tsp. has 10 mg. of hydrocodone ## my doctor give to me this TUSSIONEX for my cough.

If med has expired, does that mean it's ineffective? Or stronger? Mine expired 10/09. Thank you. ## Hi Teri, Certain drugs are actually okay to take after expiration, whereas others such as antibiotics can become toxic. Tussionex contains a combination of Chlorpheniramine + Hydrocodone. My personal assumption is that it lost a good percentage of its potency by now, having been over 2 years old. It may still be effective, but not nearly as potent. It's also impossible to give a direct answer to this question, since each medication can effect people differently. We all know that it's better to avoid the expired drugs and stay on the safe side, but unfortunately, the only way to find out is to actually try it. As far as side effects go for this medication, I'd recommend fol...

I have heard anywhere from 1-3 days but wsnted another opinon? ## Tussionex contains Chlorpheniramine and Hydrocodone, it is used to treat severe coughing. And that estimate is fairly accurate. Most narcotics clear out of the body in about 24 hours, but it can fluctuate, depending on the amount you were taking and for how long. However, if you are having a drug test and have a prescription for it, then all you have to do is inform them of this, when you go in for testing.

Thick yellow liquid used for treatment of cough with pneumonia. ## Inquiry about Tussionex by Tsquare The doctor, not my regular doctor, prescribed Tussionex (1 tsp twice every 24 hours) and Levaquin (1 750 mg tablet a day, 10 tablets with no refills) I will be 79 in May, have good diet, do 2 sets of tennis two days a week, have heart-healthy diet, relaxed lifestyle. My only real health problem has been psoriasis since about age 46, but it has radically moderated beginning at about age 78, and seemed to coincide with onset of male menopause. The methotrexate was prescribed maybe some years ago, but during the past year I have found it possible to reduce pills taken from 3 or 4 2.5mg pills per week to only one per week for the last month or so. Methotrexate is supposed to suppress the im...
