Descriptions
Hydrocodone and chlorpheniramine combination is used to relieve cough and nasal congestion (stuffy nose) associated with the common cold or allergy in adults.
Hydrocodone is an opioid antitussive (cough suppressant). It acts directly on the cough center in the brain to relieve cough. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine, which is used to relieve or prevent symptoms of an allergy.
When hydrocodone is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal symptoms if treatment is stopped suddenly.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
