Hydrocodone and chlorpheniramine polistirex combination is used to treat cough and respiratory symptoms associated with a cold or allergy.

Hydrocodone polistirex is a narcotic cough suppressant. It acts directly on the cough center in the brain to prevent a cough. Chlorpheniramine polistirex is an antihistamine that treats or prevents the symptoms of an allergy.

When hydrocodone polistirex is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming. This could cause mental or physical dependence. Physical dependence may lead to unwanted withdrawal effects if hydrocodone is stopped suddenly. Talk to your doctor if you have questions.

Hydrocodone and chlorpheniramine polistirex is available only with your doctor's prescription.

• Generic Name: belatacept
• Dosage Forms: injection, powder, lyophilized, for solution
• Other Brand Names: Nulojix

Nulojix (belatacept) weakens your body's immune system, to help keep it from "rejecting" a transplanted organ such as a kidney. Organ rejection happens when the immune system treats the new organ as an invader and attacks it.

Nulojix is used with other medicines to prevent organ rejection after a kidney transplant.

Nulojix is given only to people who have been exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus (your doctor will test your blood to confirm this).
