Dihydrocodeine is in a group of drugs called narcotics. It is a cough suppressant that affects the
signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it
easier to cough out through your mouth.
Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated
blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).
The combination of dihydrocodeine, guaifenesin, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat cough,
nasal, and sinus congestion, and to reduce chest congestion caused by the common cold, infections, or
allergies.
Dihydrocodeine, guaifenesin, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for other purposes not
listed in this medication guide.
