Promethazine with Codeine Syrup
Promethazine with codeine syrup is a prescription medication that combines two active ingredients: promethazine, an antihistamine with anti-nausea and sedative properties, and codeine, an opioid that can suppress coughing and relieve mild to moderate pain. It is prescribed only for specific medical conditions when a healthcare professional determines it is appropriate.
Because this medication contains an opioid, it carries risks including drowsiness, slowed breathing, dependence, misuse, and overdose. It should be taken only as prescribed and should not be shared with others. Alcohol and certain other medications can increase the risk of serious side effects.
This medication is not suitable for everyone and should be kept securely out of the reach of children. Patients should carefully follow their prescriber’s instructions and read the accompanying medication information before use.
