I think it really depends on

I think it really depends on the mg they prescribe in the bottle.

 Not sure though...

5 mg of hydrocodone per 5 ml

5 mg of hydrocodone per 5 ml of the liquid medicine. Most all hydro cough medicines contain this amount, except for Tussionex, which contains 10mg of hydro per 5ml of liquid. Although, I have found that many of the newer cough medicines only contain 2.5mg of hydro per 5ml dose. Here is a link I have found that breaks down a lot of cough medicines strength, but only the ones covered by Medicaid. You should be able to find the generic equivalent to poly-hist, though. I believe that the Poly-Tussin is the same. Hope this helps!

yep, I see the problem. 

yep, I see the problem.  Just as a guess I'm thinking maybe perhaps 2.5mg/ml (possibly 5mg) but maybe see if calling (601)776-3497 helps figure it out.
