More precisely, it is an antitussive drug - or cough suppressant, if you prefer - that is used in the presence of dry cough.
To carry out its therapeutic action, dextromethorphan is taken orally. In fact, the medicines that contain it (in the form of dextromethorphan hydrobromide) are formulated as tablets, oral drops, syrups. These medicines, to be purchased, do not require a prescription as they are OTC (over-the-counter drugs) and SOP (non-prescription drugs). Being classified as class C drugs, their cost is fully borne by the citizen.
