Can you take antihistamine with codeine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is a medication called tussionex that combines an older antihistamine (chlorpheniramine) with hydrodocone (similar to codeine). This medication is especially effective for severe irritant cough. It is important to carefully follow dosing directions.
