Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan + Levomenthol
Indications
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a non-opioid antitussive. It works on the cough center in the medulla oblongata and raises the threshold for the cough reflex, so the cough is triggered less easily. Levomenthol has mild local anesthetic and decongestant properties. Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride has antitussive, antihistaminic and anticholinergic properties.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide have both been used widely for many years, and no clear harm has been seen. Even so, there isn't enough information about what Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide does when it is given during human pregnancy.
Lactation: Nobody knows whether dextromethorphan or its metabolites pass into breast milk. Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride is known to cross the placenta, and it has also been found in breast milk. For this reason, the syrup should only be used when the benefit of treatment to the mother is greater than any possible risk to the developing fetus or the suckling infant.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
