Safety Weight Loss Steroids Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide For Cough Medicine

Dextromethorphan Description:

Dextromethorphan is the hydrobromide salt form of dextromethorphan, a synthetic, methylated dextrorotary analogue of levorphanol, a substance related to codeine and a non-opioid derivate of morphine. Dextromethorphan exhibits antitussive activity and is devoid of analgesic or addictive property. This agent crosses the blood-brain-barrier and activates sigma opioid receptors on the cough center in the central nervous system, thereby suppressing the cough reflex.

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide monohydrate, in its pure form is a white powder that is most commonly used as a cough suppressant drug and is an active ingredient in most cough medicines. It is also used in a range of other medicines, from psychological to pain relief applications. It comes in several forms, either as a syrup, lozenge, spray, or tablet. Spectrum Chemical USP products are manufactured, packaged and stored under current Good Manufacturing Practices per 21CFR part 211 in FDA registered and inspected facilities.

Dextromethorphan Applications:

DXM is also used recreationally. When exceeding label-specified maximum dosages, dextromethorphan acts as a dissociative hallucinogen. Its mechanism of action is via multiple effects, including actions as a nonselective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and a sigma-1 receptor agonist. The major metabolite of DXM, dextrorphan, also acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist.. As well, the metabolite 3-methoxymorphinan of dextrorphan (thus a second-level metabolite of DXM) produces local anesthetic effects in rats with potency above dextrorphan, but below that of DXM.
