What is Iophen-C NR?

Codeine is a narcotic cough suppressant. It 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.

Iophen-C NR is a combination medicine used to treat cough and chest congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Iophen-C NR will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.

Iophen-C NR may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Codeine can slow or stop your breathing, and may be habit-forming
