Calcidrine Uses This medication is used for relief of cough symptoms and as an expectorant (to loosen phlegm). Notes False positive results may be obtained if this medication is taken before certain stool specimen tests (guaiac). Storage Store at room temperature below 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) away from sunlight and moisture. How To Use Take as directed. Do not increase your dose or take more often than directed. Take with plenty of water after a meal or snack, as this will loosen and help remove lung secretions. Side Effects Nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation may occur.
