Dextromethorphan hydrobromide hydrate(CAT: A000067) is the hydrated form of dextromethorphan hydrobromide, an active ingredient commonly used as a cough suppressant in over-the-counter cold and cough medications. It works by acting on the brain’s cough center to suppress the cough reflex. Unlike opioid cough suppressants, dextromethorphan is non-narcotic and has a relatively low potential for abuse at therapeutic doses. However, at higher doses, it can cause psychoactive effects due to its interaction with NMDA receptors. It is primarily used to provide short-term relief from dry, nonproductive coughing and is commonly included in combination with other medications to address multiple cold symptoms.
