Promethazine, phenylephrine, and codeine is a multi-ingredient medicine. It combines: - promethazine (an antihistamine that helps with allergy symptoms and can curb nausea and help you sleep) - phenylephrine (a decongestant to relieve nasal stuffiness) - codeine (an opioid cough suppressant) What it’s used for - To relieve cough with cold or allergy symptoms, and to lessen nasal congestion and runny nose. Important safety notes - Sedation: Promethazine can make you sleepy; avoid driving or doing tasks that require alertness. - Respiratory risk: Codeine (an opioid) can slow breathing, especially in children or if you’re taking other sedatives or alcohol. - Age and labeling: Many codeine-containing products are not recommended for children. Promethazine with codeine (and similar combos) is often restricted in children and teens; check current guidelines in your country. - Other health conditions: Use with caution if you have high blood pressure, heart problems, glaucoma, thyroid disease, liver/kidney disease, or are pregnant/breastfeeding. Phenylephrine can raise blood pressure and heart rate. - Interactions: Avoid MAO inhibitors and be cautious with other sedatives, alcohol, or other decongestants and antihistamines. Dosing and availability - Dosing depends on the exact product (brand, strength, age). Codeine-containing products are usually prescription in many places; some combos may be OTC in others. Do not take more than the labeled dose. - If you have the product label or the exact brand/name, I can help interpret the dosing too. If you’d like, tell me: - Your country or region (to know what’s available and recommended age) - Any medical conditions and medications you’re taking - Whether you’re asking about potential use, safety, or a specific product I can tailor safety info and help with understanding the label. If you think you might have taken too much codeine or are experiencing trouble breathing, seek urgent medical help.
