How Does it Work
Hydrocodone Bitartrate 2.5 mg/5 mL/Phenylephrine HCl 5 mg/5 mL/Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2 mg/5 mL Oral Solution is an effective medication for treating general cough/cold symptoms. Hydrocodone Bitartrate is an opioid analgesic, or pain reliever, that works by producing a calming effect on the central nervous system. Phenylephrine HCl is a decongestant that works by reducing swelling in the nasal passages, thus relieving congestion. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that works by blocking the actions of histamine, a natural chemical substance released by the body during an allergic reaction. This helps to reduce runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, and other cold symptoms. Together, these ingredients work to safely and effectively treat general cough and cold symptoms.
