US Scheduling[edit]

It was listed as "OTC / Schedule V" which I have changed to Schedule V because the combination appears to be Schedule V. The article references the FDA's Over-the-Counter (OTC) Monograph M012: Cold, Cough, Allergy, Bronchodilator, and Antiasthmatic Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use, which does have exemption text indicating that codeine-containing products may be OTC when used in certain combination products, but for this particular 2-drug combination the information I can find calls it either Schedule V or Schedule III depending on the concentration of codeine.

I also have issues with laundry-list style "brand names" in society and culture sections, but not enough to do anything about it right now. Kimen8 (talk) 19:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
