I usually get Benadryl PE because it has dextromethorphan which is good as a pre-codeine thing, but the pharmacist suggested I try their generic brand cough syrup because DXM hasn't proven effective as an antitussive (I do in fact have a nasty dry cough and would appreciate some relief at night).
Their generic has something called Pholcodine in it. I've never heard of it before.
Wikipedia says it is an opioid with a long half-life which could potentially cause a positive for opiates in a drug test even days after having taken it. Also, and a bit strangely, it seems to be schedule 1 in the USA.
Has anyone else heard of this? I guess it has no abuse potential if it's available OTC here.
