What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

Hydrocodone bitartrate and homatropine methylbromide is a combination of hydrocodone, an opioid agonist; and homatropine, a muscarinic antagonist, indicated for the symptomatic relief of cough in adult patients 18 years of age and older.

Limitations of Use

  • Not indicated for pediatric patients under 18 years of age.
  • Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, misuse, overdose, and death, which can occur at any dosage or duration and persist over the course of therapy, reserve hydrocodone bitartrate and homatropine methylbromide for use in adult patients for whom alternative treatment options are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be otherwise inadequate to provide sufficient management of cough.
