Robitussin AC and OTC status in the US
editActually, AC and I think DAC can be sold over the counter legally in the same way pseudoephedrine is, but since AC/DAC is a schedule V drug, it's up to the individual pharmacy on whether or not to make the sale. Many opt to not sell it OTC because it contains codeine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.63.43 (talk) 21:35, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Ordinary Robitussin/merger
editWhy was the article "Robitussin" merged into this article? Robitussin DAC was a completely unknown concept to me until I saw this Wikipedia article. To me (in the USA), "Robitussin" refers to an over-the-counter product that contains no narcotics. I think that the article should give greater prominence to the other varieties (which aren't really mentioned at all) and say that the DAC version is less common in the USA (assuming that it is indeed).

- I agree. At least in the US, the most common form of Robitussin contains dextromethorphan. DAC is uncommon and hard to get unless you have a prescription. Robitussin offers a variety of different products so we should change the article to include information on their medicines besides the codeine/guaifenesin preparation. —Reelcheeper (talk) 01:05, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Robitussin DAC → Robitussin – An article with the title "Robitussin" was merged into "Robitussin DAC" years ago. Now, the single article has been reworked to include information about the ingredients of many different OTC products sold under the Robitussin name, along with the original information on Robitussin DAC/AC. More info on specific Robitussin products, especially those from countries besides the U.S., is still needed. But since the article now covers a wider base, it should be moved to Robitussin.
