codeine/chlorpheniramine (Rx)

Cough & Cold

Indicated for relief of cough and symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract allergies or common cold in adults (>18 years)

Suspension: 10 mL PO q12hr; not to exceed 2 doses (20 mL) in 24 hr

Tablet: 1 tablet PO q12hr; not to exceed 2 doses/24 hr

<18 years: Safety and efficacy not established

Contraindicated (1)

• alvimopan

  alvimopan, codeine. receptor binding competition. Contraindicated. Alvimopan is contraindicated in opioid tolerant patients (ie, those who have taken therapeutic doses of opioids for >7 consecutive days immediately prior to taking alvimopan). Patients recently exposed to opioids are expected to be more sensitive to the effects of alvimopan and therefore may experience abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea. No significant interaction is expected with concurrent use of opioid analgesics and alvimopan in patients who received opioid analgesics for 7 or fewer consecutive days prior to alvimopan.
