- Background
Dextromethorphan is a levorphanol derivative and codeine analog commonly used as a cough suppressant and also a drug of abuse.11 Although similar in structure to other opioids, it has minimal interaction with opioid receptors.11
Dextromethorphan was granted FDA approval before 3 December 1957.11,16

Pharmacology
- Indication
Dextromethorphan is indicated in combination with brompheniramine and pseudoephedrine in the treatment of coughs and upper respiratory symptoms associated with allergies or the common cold.13 Dextromethorphan is also used in combination with guaifenesin as an over the counter product to relieve a cough.14 Dextromethorpahn in combination with quinidine is indicated in the treatment of pseudobulbar affect.12

Contraindications & Blackbox WarningsWith our commercial data, access important information on dangerous risks, contraindications, and adverse effects.Our Blackbox Warnings cover Risks, Contraindications, and Adverse Effects- Pharmacodynamics
Dextromethorphan is an opioid-like molecule indicated in combination with other medication in the treatment of coughs and pseudobulbar affect.13,14,12 It has a moderate therapeutic window, as intoxication can occur at higher doses.10 Dextromethorphan has a moderate duration of action.12 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of intoxication.10
- Mechanism of action
Dextromethorphan is an agonist of NMDA and sigma-1 receptors.12 It is also an antagonist of α3/β4 nicotinic receptors.[A10589] However, the mechanism by which dextromethorphan's receptor agonism and antagonism translates to a clinical effect is not well understood.9

A 30mg oral dose of dextromethorphan reaches a Cmax of 2.9 ng/mL, with a Tmax of 2.86 h, and an AUC of 17.8 ng*h/mL.7
- Volume of distribution
The volume of distribution of dextromethorphan is 5-6.7L/kg.8
- Protein binding
Dextromethorphan is 60-70% protein bound in serum.12
- Metabolism
Dextromethorphan can be N-demethylated to 3-methoxymorphinan by CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9 or O-demethylated to dextrorphan by CYP2D6 and CYP2C9.6 Dextrorphan is N-demethylated by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6, while 3-methoxymorphinan is O-demethylated by CYP2D6.6 Both are metabolized to form 3-hydroxymorphinan.6 Dextrorphan and 3-hydroxymorphinan are both O-glucuronidated or O-sulfated.6
