Ok. From what I can find it is a combination cold/cough medication which means it contains an antihistamine (allergy-type medicine for runny nose/sneezing/etc.), a decongestant/expectorant, and a pain reliever. There are different types that have different combinations. This particular one seems to have Pseudoephedrine (decongestant-used to be the active ingredient in Sudafed cold medicine), Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine), Guaifenesin (expectorant-very common in cold medicines), and Hydrocodone (narcotic pain killer). The Hydrocodone is a very low dosage in these medications.
