Composition
Each 5 ml of sugar-free syrup contains Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide BP 10 mg.
Pharmacology
Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide acts centrally on the cough center in the medulla to suppress coughing. It is structurally related to morphine but lacks analgesic properties and has minimal sedative effects. Addiction is not observed even with prolonged use of high doses. The syrup is rapidly absorbed, typically taking effect within 15-30 minutes post-administration, and its effects last approximately 3-6 hours. Metabolism primarily occurs in the liver, with excretion primarily through urine.
Dosage & Administration
- Adults and Children over 12 years: 15 to 30 mg, three to four times per day. Doses of up to 60 mg, four times per day, have been used safely.
- Children 6-12 years: 5-15 mg, up to four times per day.
- Children 2-6 years: 2.5-5 mg, up to four times per day.

Fatal interactions have been reported with phenelzine and dextromethorphan; avoid concurrent use with MAO inhibitors.
