2. What is Hycodan (homatropine and
hydrocodone)?
Hydrocodone is a narcotic cough medicine.
Homatropine is a drug that works against the narcotic to prevent an overdose of this medication.
The combination of homatropine and hydrocodone combination is used to treat cough.
Homatropine and hydrocodone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

3. Afrin
Afrin Solution is used for:
Relieving nasal congestion due to the common cold, hay fever, other upper
respiratory tract allergies, or sinus infection. It may also be used to treat
other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Afrin Solution is a decongestant. It works by shrinking swollen and congested
nasal tissues (mucous membranes) by constricting blood vessels. This results
in relief of congestion (stuffy feeling), improved drainage of mucus, and
improved breathing through the nose. Local application (eg, nose drops and
sprays) causes more intense and rapid vasoconstriction than oral medicines
(eg, tablets, syrups).

4. Robitussin
Robitussin Severe Congestion is used for:
Relieving congestion, cough, and throat and airway irritation due to colds, flu, or
hay fever. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Robitussin Severe Congestion is a decongestant and expectorant combination. It
works by constricting blood vessels, reducing swelling in the nasal passages, and
thinning and loosening mucus. This allows you to breathe more easily and makes
coughs more productive.
