Does cheratussin ac contain pseudophedrine?
Echo - no, Cheratussin AC does not contain pseudoephedrine. It is a combination cough-suppressing medication which contains an expectorant (Guiafenesin) and a narcotic cough suppresant (Codeine). Codeine is an effective cough suppresant, but since it is also a narcotic, it is habit-forming and, in larger doses can cause respiratory depression; so it is adviseable to stick to the physician's dosing orders and only use the medicine short-term. If your cough does not subside after a week or so, re-check with your doctor or nurse practitioner.
