Hi-Tech Promethazine

Hi-Tech Promethazine Cough Syrup with Codeine is a prescription-only medication that combines two active ingredients promethazine hydrochloride (6.25 mg) and codeine phosphate (10 mg) per 5 mL to effectively treat cough and upper respiratory symptoms associated with allergies or the common cold.

This liquid formulation works through a dual-action approach: codeine acts as an antitussive to suppress the cough reflex in your brain, while promethazine serves as an antihistamine that reduces allergic symptoms like runny nose and sneezing, also providing sedative effects to help you rest during illness. Because this medication contains codeine, an opioid with potential for misuse and addiction, it’s classified as a controlled substance and requires careful use under medical supervision. Important safety note: this medication is not recommended for children under 12 years of age and should not be used in patients under 18 who have undergone tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy.

Always use an accurate measuring device rather than household spoons for proper dosing, take exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, and store at room temperature away from light and moisture. If you experience difficulty breathing, severe sleepiness, or any signs of allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention, as misuse can lead to serious side effects.
