Yes. Protuss Liquid contains Hydrocodone, a narcotic which can cause drowsiness.


From the Protuss Liquid Prescribing Information at http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_...uss_liquid.pdf

PROTUSS LIQUID

DESCRIPTION: A purple colored, grape-flavored, sweet-tasting syrup for oral administration, which is ALCOHOL FREE, CORN FREE, TARTRAZINE FREE and SUGAR FREE.

Each teaspoonful (5 mL) contains:
Hydrocodone Bitartrate 5 mg
Potassium Guaiacolsulfonate 300 mg

INDICATIONS AND USAGE:
For the temporary relief of dry, non-productive cough due to colds, pertussis or influenza.

WARNINGS:
May be habit forming. Hydrocodone can produce drug dependence of the morphine type and therefore has the potential for being abused.

PRECAUTIONS:
Hydrocodone, like all narcotics, may impair the mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery, and
patients should be warned accordingly.

DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE:
PROTUSS Liquid is subject to the Federal Controlled Substances Act (Schedule III). Psychic dependence, physical dependence and tolerance may develop upon repeated administration of
narcotics; therefore, PROTUSS Liquid should be prescribed and administered with caution.
