It may be an initial for the manufacturer, which could translate into any number of pharmaceutical companies that start with a C.

Unfortunately without seeing the entire label first hand, I think all anyone can do is guesstimate what it truly stands for.

Whereabouts did you get your prescription filled? CVS or Rite Aid?

If you ever get an opportunity to ask the pharmacy that gave it to you, kindly post back here with any updates, so we can all figure this riddle out...
