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.
