Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Cheratussin Ac contains codeine phosphate ( a cough suppressant) and guaifenesin (mucolytic- breaks up mucus).
Brom/pse/dm- contains a brompheniramine (anti histamine), pseudoephedrine ( a oral decongestant) and dextromethorphan (cough suppressant).
The cheratussin does not have an anti histamine or decongestant present, this is the main difference.
I hope this helps
