Sizzurp, also known as purple drank, is a recreational beverage made by mixing prescription cough syrup containing codeine and promethazine with soft drinks, often flavored with candy or fruit. The drink is popular in some music cultures, particularly in hip-hop, and is known for its sedative effects due to the presence of codeine, an opioid. The consumption of sizzurp can lead to serious health risks, including addiction, respiratory depression, and overdose. It is illegal to use prescription medications without a doctor's supervision, and misuse can have severe legal and health consequences. Awareness of these dangers is crucial for those considering its use.
