What does “codeine promethazine cough syrup” cost?
Price depends on the exact product name (brand vs. generic), strength, bottle size, and location, and it can change frequently because of pharmacy pricing and insurance coverage. I don’t have the specific retail price for your exact product from the information provided here.
How to get the current price fast at your pharmacy
To find a real-time price, check:
- The specific drug listing in your pharmacy’s app/website using the exact strength (e.g., mg of codeine + mg of promethazine per mL) and package size.
- If you have insurance, ask for the “cash price” and your “copay” price, since they can differ a lot.
- Whether your pharmacy offers a generic substitution (where permitted) versus a branded product.

- Local pharmacy pricing and discount programs.
Important availability note
Codeine-containing cough syrups (including codeine/promethazine combinations) are controlled and may have supply limits or stricter dispensing rules than non-opioid cough products, which can also affect what you see at the counter.
