About Dextromethorphan

Dextromethorphan, often shortened to DXM, is a cough suppressant used for a dry, tickly cough — the kind that produces no phlegm and often gets worse at night. It is one of the standard active ingredients in the 'dry cough' cough syrups on sale across Nigeria, including brands such as Benylin Dry Cough and Robitussin Dry Cough, as well as many combination cold-and-flu products.
