You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Dextromethorphan (when available) Suppresses the cough reflex by a direct action on the cough center in the medulla of the brain. For treatment and relief of dry cough Mechanism Of Action: Dextromethorphan is an opioid-like drug that binds to and acts as antagonist to the NMDA glutamatergic receptor, it is an agonist to the opioid sigma 1 and sigma 2 receptors, it is also an alpha3/beta4 nicotinic receptor antagonist and targets the serotonin reuptake pump.

The first-pass through the hepatic portal vein results in some of the drug being metabolized into an active metabolite of dextromethorphan, dextrorphan, the 3-hydroxy derivative of dextromethorphan.
