Question 2

What is hydromet syrup used to treat? having hard time finding it to read up on.

Accepted Answer

It is pretty much the same as Hycodan (hydrocodone) or tussionex - a cough syrup containing gaufenisin, the most common kind of heavy cough syrup which is supposed to help liquify sputum to make it easier to get out, and contains a Codeine derivative - dihydrocodeine - which is a cough suppressant.  It is more useful with dry, non-productive coughs or to decrease cough when it is keeping you awake at night.

Question 3

I took my prescribed dose of hydromet syrup 3 hrs ago, but now i'm coughing again. it says i'm only supposed to take it every 6 hrs. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Your cough needs to be diagnosed before it can be effectively treated. Suppressing a cough is not always the best treatment. Possible etiologies for your cough include acute bronchitis due to infection, bronchospasm from any cause, gerd, post-nasal drip or a combination of factors. All of these have entirely different treatments so see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment of your cough!

Question 4

Is hydromet syrup a decongestant?

Accepted Answer

Hydromet contains both a cough suppressant and an agent that reduces mucous which may be exactly what you need but it won't unblock a stuffy nose so technically it's not a decongestant.  Phenylephrine and Pseudoephedrine are the only oral decongestant ingredients available in the US.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

It depends on several factors.  What other meds you are taking and your general health, and whether you have used alcohol or other recr. drugs.  Call poison control and you will be able to get your risks evaluated based on your overall health and advice as what to do next.

Question 8

Can i take delsym (dextromethorphan) 12 hour cough syrup during the day, and then my prescribed hydromet cough syrup at night? i want to make sure this is fine to do.

Accepted Answer

Suppressing a cough is not always the correct treatment. Your cough needs to be diagnosed before it can be properly treated. Possible etiologies for your cough include acute bronchitis, bronchospasm from any cause, gerd, post-nasal drip or a combination of factors. See your doctor so your cough can be diagnosed and treated. If you smoke, you need to quit asap!

Question 9

How long does a cough from acute bronchitis last? i have already seen my doctor and been given hydromet syrup to control the cough.

Accepted Answer

The term "acute bronchitis" is a description of a problem, not a diagnosis.  It could be viral, or a complication of smoking, or a mycoplasma infection, or asthma.  It may take more than one visit to tell if your cough lasts more than two weeks.  And young adults are susceptible to pertussis (whooping cough), which can last 3 months.  Did you get your pertussis vaccine?

Question 10

Will hydromet cough syrup make me throw up if mixed with codeine pills?

Accepted Answer

Hello. Hydromet cough syrup contains hydrocodone. You should not mix that with codeine pills since that is mixing two different opioids (narcotics).  It is possible that mixing the two could make you sick. 5mg of hydrocodone is in hydromet. It's possible that the hydrocodone in hydromet can be" temporarily " effective for treating whatever pain condition codeine is being used to treat.
