2	Paula Ditullio Says: Report Abuse Friday, 9/12/2008 7:26:59 PM Has this cough medicine been recalled by the FDA or is no longer available for prescription?
3	Verwon Says: [Moderator] Saturday, 9/13/2008 2:30:08 PM No, it has not been recalled, it is still available. I just did a search at the FDA recalls site. They did issue a warning on it in March, but that is all. FDA Tussionex Warning Click Here
4	Paula Ditullio Says: Report Abuse Saturday, 9/13/2008 3:09:45 PM The reason I wanted to know is I have been very sick for 2 weeks and spent 2 hours in a doctor's office yesterday and saw a nurse practioner and I brought the empty medicine bottles that the doctor gives me when I have this real bad sinus/allergy/cold twice a year and I normally get a sinus cocktail shot, sinus pills, an antiobiotic and this cough medicine b/c I don't get any sleep at night b/c I am up all night coughing and to the point of choking and when you are working 10 hrs. a day some sleep would help when I am sick and the nurse practioner told me that it been recalled and was no longer available. I had an appt. at 3:30 and got there early and didn't get out until 5:30 and only got a shot so I am still up all night coughing and I am not able to lay down. My regular doctor had tried other cough medications but this was the only medicine that helped my cough at night which is the only time I took it so I didn't know what was so bad about the medication since the nurse practioner told me it had been recalled.
5	Verwon Says: [Moderator] Saturday, 9/13/2008 3:26:29 PM It does contain Hydrocodone, which is a narcotic, so they may just be reluctant to keep prescribing it, due to its potential for abuse and addiction.
6	Paula Ditullio Says: Report Abuse Saturday, 9/13/2008 3:52:55 PM I can understand that but they can't assume that every person will become addicted b/c if that's the case then it should be recalled. I just know that instantly caused me to stop coughing at night which is when I am coughing the most and I was able to get some sleep so I am able to get ready to work 10 hrs. b/c I have not missed work due to my sickness so I sick at my desk and cough and as the day goes on I get sleepy but I have 10 hours to work then I cough even more at night. Maybe I just understand b/c I am not addicted to drugs and I don't use or abuse drugs or drink.
7	Verwon Says: [Moderator] Monday, 9/15/2008 12:44:55 PM I understand your point of view, not everyone has addiction/abuse problems. The main problem is that the government is very picky about doctors prescribing these types of medications and makes them account for each prescription and some doctors have just gotten sick of dealing with it all. The only thing you can do is try to talk to your doctor about it.

9	Katherine Wl Says: Report Abuse Friday, 10/2/2009 9:05:43 AM When it is high allergy season, and I get the non-productive cough that won't stop, tussionex pennkinetic susp is my miracle. My first line of defense is rhinocort aqua, 24hour claritinD, & sometimes use of benedryl or chlortrimaton at night. This is all for allergies, which happen the worst in April & October in Wisconsin, except for strange years like 2009, when they go on straight through from Spring to Fall.
