Mintuss MR Syrup

Generic Name: Hydrocodone/Phenylephrine/Pyrilamine Liquid and Syrup (hye-droe-KOE-done/fen-ill-EF-rin/peer-IL-a-meen)
Brand Name: Examples include Codimal DH and Poly Hist HC

Mintuss MR Syrup 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.

Mintuss MR Syrup 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.
