Brompheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Hydrocodone is in a group of drugs called narcotics and is similar to codeine. Hydrocodone is a cough suppressant that affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.
Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).
The combination of brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat cough, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, runny nose, stuffy nose, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.
Brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Before taking brompheniramine, hydrocodone, and pseudoephedrine, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:

heart disease or high blood pressure;
enlarged prostate or urination problems;

Generic Name: nitisinone (ni TIZ i none)
Brand Names: Orfadin
Nitisinone is used to treat a rare genetic condition called hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1). HT-1 is a metabolic disorder that occurs when the body does not produce enough of an enzyme that breaks down proteins from certain foods. This condition occurs most often in young babies. The symptoms of HT-1 include unusual bleeding and signs of liver failure, such as dark urine, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), sudden stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue.
Nitisinone works by preventing the body from breaking down an amino acid called tyrosine and by keeping other toxic substances from building up and causing harm to your liver or kidneys.
Nitisinone is only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes a special diet. It is very important to follow the diet plan created for you by your doctor or nutrition counselor. You should become very familiar with the list of foods you must avoid to help control your condition.
Before taking nitisinone, tell your doctor if you have eye pain, redness, or swelling, or if your eyes are more sensitive to light than usual. You may need to have an eye examination.
While you are taking nitisinone, your doctor may recommend regular visits to check your liver with blood tests and ultrasounds or CT scans.
To make it easier to swallow the medicine, you may open a capsule and sprinkle the contents into a small amount of water, infant formula, or applesauce. Use this mixture right away and do not keep it for later use.

Some of the foods that contain tyrosine include cheese, milk, sour cream, beer, wine, distilled liquor, chicken, beef, liver, fish, processed meats (bologna, hot dogs, pepperoni, hard sausages), meat tenderizer, herring or other dried fish, avocados, bananas, carrots, potatoes, oatmeal, brown rice, soy sauce, spinach, tomatoes, bean curd, raisins, red plums, garbanzo beans, soy beans, and almonds.
Foods that contain phenylalanine include diet sodas, beef, poultry, pork, fish, milk, yougurt, eggs, cheese, soybeans, soy protein, tofu, and certain nuts or seeds.

Before consuming any packaged food or beverage, carefully read the nutrition label to be sure the product does not contain phenylalanine or have a warning about phenylketonuria.
There are other foods that may contain tyrosine or phenylalanine. Be sure you are familiar with the list of foods you must avoid or restrict to help control your condition.
