How should I take chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone?
Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides. Never use this medicine in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed.
Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. MISUSE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH. Keep the medicine in a place where others cannot get to it. Selling or giving away chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone is against the law.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) before you measure a dose. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).
Do not mix the oral suspension with any other liquids or medicines.
Do not crush, chew, break, or open an extended-release capsule. Swallow it whole.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 5 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache or skin rash.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze.
Keep track of your medicine. Chlorpheniramine and hydrocodone is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
Do not stop using this medicine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using the medicine.
