This medication is used to relieve a dry cough caused by the common cold or other conditions as prescribed by your doctor. Relieving a cough helps you get more rest and sleep. This product contains two medications, hydrocodone and homatropine. Hydrocodone is an opioid cough suppressant that works in the brain to stop the urge to cough. Homatropine belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics. This medication is generally used for short-term treatment and should not be used for ongoing coughs from smoking or long-term breathing problems, unless directed by your doctor. Opioid cough suppressants should not be used by children younger than 18 years. Children are at higher risk for serious side effects, especially breathing problems. Talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of this medication. Cough-and-cold products do not cure colds. Cough due to a common cold often does not need to be treated with medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about other ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms, such as drinking enough fluids, using a humidifier, or saline nose drops/spray.
