Equate cough syrup: Codeine is a controlled narcotic. It is only available by prescription.
Equate cough syrup is over the counter medication. One of its active ingredient is dextromethorphan. It doesn't contain codeine.

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.

Absolutely!: Codeine is a narcotic. Although weaker than many narcotics, it still has the same potential side effects from addiction to constipation, respiratory depression, and death. Only use according to prescription instructions and no more.
