About once/year I get a viral URI and the only thing that suppresses my cough is codeine. This time I finished up my Rx from last fall, which said Guanifesin AC.

I have been coughing for a week now and was prescribed this in hopes of getting some relief and some rest. It's almost 1 in the morning and I have yet to stop coughing or sleep. I'll be calling the dr again in the morning.
