Generic Name: guaifenesin, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine (gwye FEN e sin, HYE droe KOE done, SOO doe ee FED rin)
Brand Names: Drituss HD, Dynex HD, Entex HC, Hydro-Tuss XP, Hydrotussin HD, Nalex Expectorant, Poly-Tussin XP, Pseudatex HC, Su-Tuss HD Elixir, Tussgen Expectorant, Vanacon
Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth.
Hydrocodone is a narcotic. It is a pain reliever and a cough suppressant.
Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).
The combination of guaifenesin, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat cough and nasal congestion, and to reduce chest congestion caused by the common cold, infections, or allergies.
Guaifenesin, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Before taking guaifenesin, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:
asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders;
heart disease or high blood pressure;
diabetes;
a thyroid disorder;
a seizure disorder;
Addison's disease or other adrenal gland disorders;
enlarged prostate, urination problems;
mental illness; or
a history of drug or alcohol addiction.
If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication.
Artificially-sweetened liquid forms of cold medicine may contain phenylalanine. This would be important to know if you have phenylketonuria (PKU). Check the ingredients and warnings on the medication label if you are concerned about phenylalanine.
Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended. Cold medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.
Measure the liquid form of this medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time if you have taken a cold medicine within the past few days.

If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Avoid taking diet pills, caffeine pills, or other stimulants (such as ADHD medications) without your doctor's advice. Taking a stimulant together with a decongestant can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.
