🩺 Clinical
Dextromethorphan is used to temporarily relieve cough caused by the common cold, the flu, or other conditions. Dextromethorphan will relieve a cough but will not treat the cause of the cough or speed recovery. Dextromethorphan is in a class of medications called antitussives. It works by decreasing activity in the part of the brain that causes coughing.
Read the full MedlinePlus article ↗This is an over-the-counter combination kit containing two liquid products intended to relieve cold and flu symptoms. Guaifenesin is typically used to help thin mucus and make cough more productive. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant commonly used to reduce coughing. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that functions to relieve nasal congestion. Acetaminophen is typically used for pain relief and fever reduction. Triprolidine is an antihistamine commonly included to help with congestion and other cold symptoms.
