Cough syrup: Codeine is a narcotic which helps to suppress coughs. If it contains guaifenesin that will help to break things up so that you can cough it out. However, it looks like your question was cut off, so I am not sure if your question was answered.

Equate cough syrup: Codeine is a controlled narcotic. It is only available by prescription.
