Hi All, Need some info info real quick on Promethizine w/Codein. Mom has asthma, got really sick with an attack 2 days ago. Went to Dr today for check-up. He prescribed Promethizine w/Codein 1tsp q/6 hrs (each tsp contains 5mls) Dr told her it was for her coughing at night (tho mom reports minimal coughing and sleeps well) Baby is 2.5 mo old and exclusively BF (a real challenge 'cause she has fought the Asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia since babys birth, and a very unsupportive family {except for hubby} en re: to BF) Hale says Not reviewed, and I am concerned about this med. Also says that this drug is commonly used for nausea and motion sickness, so am wondering why it is given for coughing. Mom is very commited to BF and will not take anything that is not compatible with BF. Is there any new info on this drug that says it is safe for BF moms, or is there another med that would help with her coughing (again it is minimal, and mom is not really interested in taking anything, but Dr insists on prescribing.) She will NOT be taking this med tonight (against Drs orders) but will be taking Robitussin (for cough). All help will be appreciated. TIA! Jay Who is very sick today with a head cold, fever and laryngitis. Does that really suck, or what? Just before baby is due, and I get sicker than I have been in the last 3 years! Time to go back to bed....
