A member asked:
Does promethazine alone (without codeine) aid in cough suppression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: It's more the codeine that does that part. Alone, it will sedate, help reduce motion sickness, perhaps migraine, agitation and some other emotional distress symptoms and allergic reactions of some sorts. Discuss all this w/ your Dr. Understand why they want which effects and all the pros and cons. Ask about alternatives too.
