Question 1

can you give a 3 year old cheratussin ac cough syrup?

Accepted Answer

Cheratussin AC: Cough syrups in general are not frequently recommended in pediatrics. Cheratussin ac in particular contains codeine, a narcotic, and can only be used by the patient it was prescribed for. Therefore, it is not recomended that this medication be given to a 3 year old.

Question 2

can you take mucinex and guaifenesin ac cough syrup together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, kinda sorta...: Check out drug-drug interaction checkers at www.Online.Epocrates.Com and www.Drugs.Com, specifically http://www.Drugs.Com/interactions-check.Php?Drug_list=719-8048, 1200-719. Then look for generic equivalents or read ingredient labels. Mucinex (guaifenesin) is a brand of Guaifenesin while Guaifenesin ac is Guaifenesin plus codeine. So yes, your combo is already sold as such. Just don't take too much together.

Question 3

what do you advise if i'm taking guiatuss ac cough syrup and was wondering if i could also take mucinex (guaifenesin) or nighttime cold with it?

Accepted Answer

Cough: You dont want to overdo guaifenesin which is the active ingredient in all three. May upset your stomach. Suggest you chose one type and take it as directed on the package.

Question 4

what cough syrup is best to use?

Accepted Answer

None.: Honey is a better cough medicine than any packaged cough medicine.

Question 5

can this cough syrup get me high?

Maybe: Some cough syrups contain Codeine which is a type of narcotic.  These are by prescription only and should be used only under the direction of your physician for short periods of time due to the risk of dependenc.  The over the counter cough syrups will not result in mood changes--up or down.

Question 6

pleas tell me a best cough syrup?

Accepted Answer

Guaifesin: Guaifesin based cough medicines are good, but in reality they are about the same.

Question 7

where can activist cough syrup be found?

Accepted Answer

Search Internet: I am not familiar with that specific brand but you can always search the internet. Better yet, check w/your local pharmacies to see which one keeps it in stock. Or look for generic equivalents that contain same ingredients (they should always be listed on label).

Question 8

whers can i get cough syrup with codianw?

Accepted Answer

Codeine cough syrup: Because codeine is a narcotic, it is considered controlled.  You will need a prescription from a provider to get this medicine.  It does work great for cough!

Question 9

whats a good natural cough syrup ingredient?

Accepted Answer

Natural cough syrup: Honey and herb tea.  Do not give babies under one year of age honey.  After one year of age honey is a natural ingredient.

Question 10

how can i tolerate the taste of cough syrup?

Accepted Answer

Flavorings: Good question!  some medications can taste awful.  Many pharmacies have flavorings that they can add to liquid medication to disguise the taste.  Another option is to chew cinnamon gum after taking the medication.
