Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone for Cough "I am a 38-year-old female who has lupus, asthma, and chronic bronchitis. After 2 months of violent coughing fits at night, I was prescribed Tussionex Pennkinetic. The coughing ceased immediately, as did the pain, and I could finally breathe! It did cause itching, strong drowsiness (a plus because I was sleep deprived), and dry mouth, but it was absolutely worth it."

For Cough "Agree with all that was said. It works in 20 minutes and lasts 12 hours. I do get itchy, a little restless, but the cough is gone. My insurance does not cover any part of it, and $100 is steep but worth it."

Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone for Cold Symptoms "I was prescribed this medicine after going to urgent care for what I thought was a basic head cold. I was told I had the flu. I did not think my symptoms were consistent with what I considered the flu, but I had not been sick in a long time and cannot remember when I last had the flu. The medicine definitely dried me up, per se, but I started getting really jittery and anxious, and when trying to go to sleep, could not due to the itching. I know I am sensitive to medications and have never had this medicine before. If you are like me and sensitive to medicines, be prepared for side effects."

For Cough "This medicine really helped my cough, but it made me itchy, and I got hives on my elbows and knees. It also made me very tired the next day, but tiredness alone wouldn't stop me from taking it again. It did wonders for my cough."

For Cold Symptoms "This worked great. I did have some itching all over from it, but it was worth it. I would definitely take it again."
