A member asked:
Why does novasus work better than cherra tussin for some people with acute sinusitis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different: These two narcotic cough suppressants have different opiate suppressants- Novasus has hydrocodone and CherraTussin has codeine. Novasus has chorpheniramine, an anti-histamine, while CherraTussin has guaifenesin, a cough suppressant. So these two cough syrups work in totally different ways
