Dry (non-productive) cough, throat irritation-related cough, cough due to common cold or allergy (symptomatic relief)
How It Works
Dextromethorphan is a centrally acting antitussive. It suppresses the cough reflex by acting on the cough center in the brain, reducing the urge to cough.
Directions for Use
Take by mouth using a measuring cup/spoon. Usually taken every 6–8 hours as needed; follow the label/doctor’s advice. Can be taken with or without food. Do not exceed the recommended dose; not for prolonged use without medical advice.
Do not use in children below the age recommended on the label without medical advice. Avoid driving or operating machinery if drowsy. Do not use for cough with excessive mucus, chronic cough (asthma/COPD/smoking), or if fever/rash/persistent symptoms occur—seek medical advice. Risk of misuse/overdose; do not exceed dose. Use caution in liver disease. Seek urgent care for serotonin syndrome symptoms (agitation, confusion, sweating, fast heartbeat, tremor) especially if on serotonergic medicines.
