User Reviews for Tussionex Pennkinetic

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: Wow! This stuff worked immediately. No side effects.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: This was costly but it really helped the coughing and my cold! And helped me sleep!

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: I have been to several internists, three pulmonary docs and still have a chronic cough. Other than perhaps an asthmatic condition so far no specific diagnosis. Nobody could stop the cough. I tried virtually everything until I came to my latest internist who said he could stop the cough and he did. He prescribed Tussionex Pennkinetic. Unlike most of the other comments I don't feel loopy, I feel normal as can be except I can't sleep. So with a bit of an Ambian I sleep, I don't cough much any more and feel great. I take two teaspoons daily each and every day or I am in trouble. I have done this now for about three years and the end results have kept me off Prednisone and able to live a normal healthy active life. Hurray for this medicine!

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: This stuff is a miracle cure for nasty coughs. I was prescribed this for a painful, dry cough that was unresponsive to codeine and OTC cough medicines. It completely killed my cough and allowed me to relax and sleep. If I were a doctor I'd give this stuff out instead of codeine.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: First of all , if you go to a doctor and request this medicine, he/she will see this as drug seeking behavior. It is an opiate . The only difference between Tussionex and Vicodin is the antihistamine in the Tussionex. It is highly addictive. I should know ...I have been to drug treatment two times for my addiction to Tussionex. I didn't take it as prescribed though - worked my way up to 3oz. Each day - sometimes twice a day. Be very careful.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: I have viral bronchitis, and was miserable. Took 1 teaspoon of Tussionex Pennkinetic and 20 minutes later, I feel back to normal. Worked awesome!

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cold Symptoms: It really helped with my coughing, but it made me extremely sleepy.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: As others have stated, this medicine is great. I have been so sick for over a week; coughing and spitting up constantly, unable to talk without going into a severe coughing spell and unable to sleep due to the cough and having to clear my throat so I could breathe. I finally went to the doctor today. He gave me Z-pack, a Celestone shot AND the Tussionex Suspension. I know it was the Tussionex that did the trick so quickly. I remember having it years ago, and same thing; my "impossible to cure" cough went away very soon. Next time I get a bad cough, I'm going for the Tussionex Pennkinetic Suspension immediately. NOTHING else that I've used the past week came anywhere near to eliminating my symptoms. Excellent product.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: This medication was great to reduce coughing and to sleep well at night after a few sleepless nights before the med. But I developed very bad constipation after a few nights (I took it only once a day, before bedtime) which was so bad that I would never use this medication again.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: Cleared my cough and allowed me to rest. This liquid must be taken exactly as prescribed. I experienced a slight feeling of lethargy the next day. Given that as the side effect, I would take this again for any of my severe coughing spells.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: The best cough medicine ever! Nothing helps my cough but Tussionex. It lasts the entire 12 hours. Unbelievablly good cough medicine!!

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: I have chronic bronchitis and when I get a cold and let it go too long, the chronic bronchitis shows itself and if I don't recognize the onset soon enough, pneumonia --single or double- is the result. My doctor prescribed Tussionex five years ago and it has become my "go to" medicine--if used early, it allows me to sleep, cough less throughout the night. While it does not cure the bronchitis, it allows the body to do its work by allowing you to rest without coughing. I have one bit of advice - do not abuse this medication - regardless of what the prescription says--one teaspoon (2 ML) a day preferably before bedtime is the only way you should take it. I use it very sparingly because of it's expense and because it always works for me.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: Worth every penny. Cough was gone all day.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: There's no generic for this medication and it is quite expensive, but definitely worth the money. My husband had a post-nasal drip cough that just wouldn't go away, and it kept both of us up at night. He took a teaspoon of this and we both slept through the night, he didn't cough once. Felt great in the morning too, no drowsiness. Great stuff.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: After 15 years of vasomotor rhinitis, which caused chronic coughing, I was finally prescribed something that helped me sleep without waking up 10 times coughing each night. I don't notice any hangover or grogginess the next day. My only complaint is that it is not covered by my insurance and is a little expensive.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: I recently moved to Savannah, GA and developed a horrid cough. I continued to get colds and did not stop coughing for weeks. I was treated by an allergist with every known allergy drug, inhaler and nasal spray. I then started allergy shots. I continued to cough till I threw up at least 10 times a day. In addition this caused urinary incontinence. I then started to see an ENT and went through cat scans, scopes, etc. with no relief from the cough. My personal care physician has now suggested I see a gastroenterologist. Meanwhile she was willing to treat the symptoms. This is the best drug I have ever taken. After the first dose I immediately stopped coughing. It lasts a full 12 hours and allows me to sleep!

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: This is the best cough medicine out there. Whenever I get chest colds that keep me up at night coughing, I request this. I have been doing this for 10 yrs. Seriously if you want to stop your cough - request this one. nothing works like this one. The side effects do not out weigh the results!

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: I first used Tussionex in 1981. At that time it was called Tussionex Susp. and contained only 5mg hydrocodone per dose. They also had a tablet version available back then, which equaled one teaspoon of the suspension. The reason that it is so effective over other cough remedies, even other syrups which contain hydrocodone, is due to the type of hydrocodone used.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: I coughed horribly for a year and a half. Had all tests run, even had the Nissen fundoplication procedure done. My cough did not go away. In the hospital I was given this for pain. I immediately stopped coughing. Could finally sleep. I found an ENT who thinks my cough is neurogenic. Nerve damage caused by a virus. This is the nerve that triggers cough. He gave me gabapentin and it helped a little in the beginning now, it does nothing. I had 2 refills left on the Tussionex Pennkinetic and I'm now down to my last refill. I take 1 teaspoon every day around 4:00. I take it so early because this medicine keeps me up and won't let me sleep. The opposite of what most of you are experiencing.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: As stated Tussionex is expensive. With that said you get what you pay for. I had a cough that kept me up for 3 days. I went to my doctor and he prescribed Tussionex for me. I had 1 teaspoon before bed and woke up 8 1/2 hours later. My cough did not wake me up once during the night.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: This stuff is amazing when you are really sick. A severe cough was making my head and neck hurt so bad. After about 20 minutes of taking Tussionex, my cough was much improved, and my neck/headache almost non-existent. I was prescribed this after Codeine wasn't helping at all. Will definitely take it again if needed.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: I have mild asthma and allergies. My Azmacort inhaler is not enough at times, and the Tussionix gives me complete relief from the nagging cough that I find so exasperating! I only use it once a day (and not every day) during allergy season. It's made my life much more comfortable during allergy season. Absolutely no side effects when taken once a day as I do. Worth every penny.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: This stuff is great. I have had a chronic cough for over a year following an esophagectomy. This is the first medication that actually works for more then a couple of hours. I can actually make it through the night without having coughing episodes. As a side benefit, it tastes pretty good.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cough: I have a problem with recurring bronchitis because of asthma. When this happens I cough a lot. The Tussionex is a life saver for me. It stops the cough that nothing else has ever stopped. It makes me sleepy, but the cough is paralyzing so it's well worth it. The price makes me very thankful for my health insurance.

Tussionex Pennkinetic (chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone) for Cold Symptoms: I had very severe viral bronchitis with a chronic cough. The medicine did help my cough somewhat, but nothing amazing. The worst side effect was that it caused me to have a lot of trouble urinating.
