Up to 12-hour cold and allergy cough relief.
Trust in soothing TUSSIONEX®: The #1 prescribed brand of FDA-approved hydrocodone-based antitussive1

TUSSIONEX® is indicated for the relief of cough and upper respiratory symptoms associated with allergy or a cold in adults and children 6 years of age and older.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

  • TUSSIONEX® is contraindicated in children less than 6 years of age due to the risk of fatal depression, and in patients with a known allergy or sensitivity to hydrocodone or chlorpheniramine.
  • TUSSIONEX® may produce dose-related respiratory depression or irregular and periodic breathing. Caution should be exercised when TUSSIONEX is used postoperatively and in patients with pulmonary disease, or whenever ventilatory function is depressed.
  • The respiratory depressant effects of narcotics and their capacity to elevate cerebrospinal fluid pressure may be markedly exaggerated in the presence of head injury, other intracranial lesions, or a pre-existing increase in intracranial pressure. Furthermore, narcotics produce adverse reactions, which may obscure the clinical course of patients with head injuries.
  • TUSSIONEX® is a Schedule III narcotic. Psychic dependence, physical dependence and tolerance may develop upon repeated administration of narcotics; therefore, TUSSIONEX Pennkinetic Extended-Release Suspension should be prescribed and administered with caution.
  • The administration of narcotics may obscure the diagnosis or clinical course of patients with acute abdominal conditions.
  • Chronic use of narcotics may result in obstructive bowel disease especially in patients with underlying intestinal motility disorder.
  • Caution is advised when prescribing this drug to patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, asthma, or prostatic hypertrophy.
  • TUSSIONEX® should be used with caution in elderly or debilitated patients and those with severe impairment of hepatic or renal function, hypothyroidism, Addison's disease, prostatic hypertrophy, or urethral stricture.
  • Hydrocodone suppresses the cough reflex; caution should be exercised when TUSSIONEX® is used postoperatively, and in patients with pulmonary disease.
