Addiction may be more of a risk for a person who has been addicted to alcohol or drugs. Be sure to follow your doctor"s instructions carefully when taking Phenaphen with Codeine (or any other drugs that contain a narcotic).

How should you take Phenaphen with Codeine?

Phenaphen with Codeine may be taken with meals or with milk (but not with alcohol).

--If you miss a dose...

If you take Phenaphen with Codeine on a regular schedule, take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

--Storage instructions...

Store away from heat, light, and moisture. Keep the liquid from freezing.

What side effects may occur?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Phenaphen with Codeine.

  • More common side effects may include:
    Dizziness, light-headedness, nausea, sedation, shortness of breath, vomiting

Special warnings about Phenaphen with Codeine

You should take Phenaphen with Codeine cautiously and only according to your doctor"s instructions, as you would take any medication containing a narcotic. Make sure your doctor is aware of any problems you have had with drug or alcohol addiction.

Phenaphen with Codeine tablets contain a sulfite that may cause allergic reactions in some people. These reactions may include shock and severe, possibly life-threatening, asthma attacks. People with asthma are more likely to be sensitive to sulfites.

If you have experienced a head injury, consult your doctor before taking Phenaphen with Codeine.

If you have stomach problems, such as an ulcer, check with your doctor before taking Phenaphen with Codeine. Phenaphen with Codeine may obscure the symptoms of stomach problems, making them difficult to diagnose and treat.

If you have ever had liver, kidney, thyroid, or adrenal disease, difficulty urinating, or an enlarged prostate, consult your doctor before taking Phenaphen with Codeine.

If you generally drink 3 or more alcoholic beverages per day, check with your doctor before using Phenaphen with Codeine and other acetaminophen-containing products, and never take more than the recommended dosage. There is a possibility of damage to the liver when large amounts of alcohol and acetaminophen are combined.

This drug may cause drowsiness and impair your ability to drive a car or operate potentially dangerous machinery. Do not participate in any activities that require full attention when using Phenaphen with Codeine until you are sure of its effect on you.

Possible food and drug interactions when taking Phenaphen with Codeine

Alcohol may increase the sedative effects of Phenaphen with Codeine. Therefore, do not drink alcohol while you are taking Phenaphen with Codeine.

If Phenaphen with Codeine is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Phenaphen with Codeine with the following:

Antidepressants such as Elavil, Nardil, Parnate, and Tofranil
Drugs that control spasms, such as Cogentin
Major tranquilizers such as Clozaril and Thorazine
Other narcotic painkillers such as Darvon
Tranquilizers such as Xanax and Valium

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

It is not known if Phenaphen with Codeine could injure a baby, or if it could affect a woman"s reproductive capacity. Using any medication that contains a narcotic during pregnancy may cause babies to be born with a physical addiction to the narcotic. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, you should not take Phenaphen with Codeine unless the potential benefits clearly outweigh the possible dangers. As with other narcotic painkillers, taking Phenaphen with Codeine shortly before delivery (especially at higher dosages) may cause some degree of breathing difficulty in the mother and newborn.

Some studies (but not all) have reported that codeine appears in breast milk and may affect a nursing infant. Therefore, nursing mothers should use Phenaphen with Codeine only if the potential gains are greater than the potential hazards.
