Temporary relief of coughs (antitussive, cough suppressant) caused by minor throat and bronchial irritation that may occur with common colds, allergies, or inhaled irritants.

Used in fixed combination with other agents (e.g., acetaminophen, brompheniramine, chlorpheniramine, doxylamine, guaifenesin, phenylephrine, pseudoephedrine) for the temporary relief of coughs and/or other symptoms (e.g., rhinorrhea, sneezing, lacrimation, itching eyes, oronasopharyngeal itching, nasal congestion) associated with seasonal (e.g., hay fever) or perennial allergic rhinitis, other upper respiratory allergies, or the common cold.

Most effective in the treatment of chronic, nonproductive cough.

In pediatric patients <2 years of age, OTC cough and cold preparations (i.e., containing cough suppressants [including dextromethorphan], antihistamines, expectorants, and/or nasal decongestants) were not more effective than placebo in reducing acute cough and other symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection and reportedly are associated with adverse events and sometimes death (albeit rarely). (See Pediatric Use under Cautions.)

Abuse and recreational use reported. (See Abuse Potential under Cautions.)
