Opium Deodorized

Generic Name: opium preparation (OH pee um)

Brand Names: Opium Deodorized, Paregoric

What is Opium Deodorized (opium preparation)?

Opium is a narcotic derived from the seed pod of a poppy plant. It works by increasing smooth muscle tone and decreasing fluid secretions in the intestines. This slows the movement of bowel matter through the intestines.

Opium preparation (sometimes called "opium tincture" or "paregoric") is used to treat diarrhea. Opium preparation is sometimes given with other anti-diarrhea medication such as kaolin and pectic (Kaopectate).

Opium preparation may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Do not drink alcohol while you are taking this medication. Dangerous side effects or death can occur when alcohol is combined with opium preparation.

Ryna-12X is an expectorant, decongestant, and antihistamine combination. The expectorant loosens mucus and lung secretions in the chest and makes coughs more productive. The decongestant works by constricting blood vessels and reducing swelling in the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe.
