Brompheniramine/Hydrocodone/Phenylephrine Suspension


Generic Name: Brompheniramine/Hydrocodone/Phenylephrine (BROME-fen-IR-a-meen/hye-droe-KOE-done/FEN-il-EF-rin)
Brand Name: VasoTuss HC


Brompheniramine/Hydrocodone/Phenylephrine Suspension is used for:

Relieving symptoms of sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and cough due to colds, upper respiratory infections, and allergies. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Brompheniramine/Hydrocodone/Phenylephrine Suspension is a decongestant, antihistamine, and cough suppressant combination. The decongestant works by constricting blood vessels and reducing swelling in the nasal passages. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms, such as watery eyes and sneezing. The cough suppressant works in the brain to help decrease the cough reflex, which reduces a dry cough.


Do NOT use Brompheniramine/Hydrocodone/Phenylephrine Suspension if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Brompheniramine/Hydrocodone/Phenylephrine Suspension or any other codeine- or morphine-related medicine (eg, codeine)

  • you have severe high blood pressure, severe heart blood vessel disease, rapid heartbeat, or severe heart problems

  • you are unable to urinate or are having an asthma attack

  • you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB) or if you have taken furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days
