Details for each option
Brand nameNo maker’s card
We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Tuxarin’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Tuxarin’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.
Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Tuxarin itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Tuxarin is the only choice; ask the pharmacy for its cash price, or your plan what it charges.
Regular genericNot sold
We didn’t find one. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, ask the pharmacy for Tuxarin’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.
What it’s used for
What the FDA label says
TUXARIN ER is a combination of codeine, an opioid agonist; and chlorpheniramine, a histamine-1 (H1) receptor antagonist, indicated for the temporary relief of cough and upper respiratory symptoms associated with allergy or the common cold in patients 18 years of age and older.
Important Limitations of Use
- Not indicated for pediatric patients under 18 years of age.
- Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse with opioids, even at recommended doses, reserve TUXARIN ER for use in adult patients for whom the benefits of cough suppression are expected to outweigh the risks, and in whom an adequate assessment of the etiology of the cough has been made.
