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 6

i took cheratussin ac at 10 pm. it is now almost 3am and i can't sleep due to coughing. is it safe to take nyquil if it's only been 5 hrs?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The first med you took contained codeine and you almost certainly took too low a dose as evidenced by the fact that you are still coughing. More importantly you have to find out why you're coughing. See your doc today!

Question 7

i took acetaminophen-cod #3 for my back pain an hour ago and im also caughing a lot, can i take cheratussin ac?

Cough meds: That shouldnt be a problem as long as you watch how much of each you take and dont take them together directly.

Question 8

hello, i was prescribed prednisone, z pack and cheratussin ac.  can i take them all in the morning or should i spread the medicine throughout the day?

Accepted Answer

Daily OK: Your medications can be taken daily although the cough syrup as you are aware is taken generally every 6 hours for symptom relief.

Question 9

i have a chest & nasal infection. dr gave me flonase and cheratussin ac. is it safe to take with my usual 1.5mg xanax (alprazolam) dosage? doc knows i take xanax (alprazolam)

Accepted Answer

Yes: I presume your infection is a viral one since none of your medications is an antibiotic.

Question 10

i have been taking clarithromycin, predinisone , cheratussin ad syrup, and claritin (loratadine) for strep throat, bronchitis , and a sinus infection. now that i am feeling better i have this dry cough that worsen at night. should i be worried ?

Accepted Answer

Not specificly: Of the things you list, the sinus infection can produce postnasal drainage & night cough & the bronchitis can produce a lingering cough that may last weeks. If you are starting to feel better you are on the right track.
