Can a doctor on this site prescribe cough syrup?

Try our other forum: You have posted a question on HealthTap's free, public, information forum. This forum is not for getting medical care. Try a premium forum that provides medical care (such as HealthTap virtual consults in the US), with fees that do not change with regard to whether or not the doctor prescribes a drug. Also, patients should not receive narcotic, psychiatric, or potentially abusable drugs online.

Not here: This is the public HT site where volunteer docs offer to review health problems & provide general advice. It is not a treatment site. You can find several cough syrups OTC without prescriptions. HT operated a separate site, HT Prime where you can access private consultations from docs licensed in your state. It is fee based & you pay the same whether they decide you need prescription meds or not.

No: Cough syrups that require a prescription contained codeine, a controlled substance.
