Report options Verywell / Dennis Madamba How to Take DelsymDelsym should generally be taken by mouth every four to eight hours for immediate-release medications. Extended-release medications can be taken by mouth every 12 hours. The specific volume will vary depending on certain characteristics like age. Dextromethorphan should not be taken if you take medications in the monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) drug class. It can lead to a condition known as serotonin syndrome. StorageStore Delsym in a cool, dry place. Generally, you should keep medications away from spaces that endure heat, like your car, or high humidity areas, like your bathroom. These kinds of factors can impact how well medications work. It’s also important to make sure medications are away from pets and children to avoid accidental consumption. Off-Label UsesDextromethorphan has been around for a long time and has a lot of time to be studied in various other conditions. Examples of those are listed below:
Pain Relief Compared with ibuprofen, dextromethorphan was found to have no effect on overall pain relief after major surgery at low doses. However, at relatively higher doses, dextromethorphan decreased pain when given for minor surgeries. One study found that dextromethorphan may have led to a lower dose of a powerful opiate called morphine. Diabetes Complications Another study found that dextromethorphan might affect a diabetes complication known as macular edema. Diabetes can cause macular edema by the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, which is a barrier that separates fluids in your brain and fluids in your spinal cord. The nature of macular edema is progressive, which means it worsens over time. This study found that people taking dextromethorphan didn’t get worse in macular edema. Combination Treatment With Quinidine Dextromethorphan has shown even more potential when combined with another medication, quinidine. Quinidine is a medication that is used to treat parasites, as well as treat irregular heartbeats. One study found that this combination could potentially manage the symptoms of depression. More data show that this combination is effective in treating a disorder known as pseudobulbar affect. Pseudobulbar affect is characterized by sudden and often uncontrollable laughter or crying. The combination of dextromethorphan and quinidine was shown to have significant improvements in treating the symptoms of pseudobulbar affect.

(800) 332-1088 Dosage: How Much of Delsym Should I Take?Drug Content Provided and Reviewed by IBM Micromedex® The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so. The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
ModificationsDelsym is considered acceptable for use during pregnancy at standard OTC doses. While using Delsym, you should avoid taking products containing alcohol. Some people are also considered “poor metabolizers,” which means they have less of an enzyme that converts and breaks down Delsym in the body. This may cause an increase in side effects while taking the medication but does not necessitate a change in dose. Missed DoseIf you miss a dose of Delsym, it will be okay. What’s important is you take it as soon as you remember. Even if you miss a dose, continue only to take the normal recommended dose. Do not take more to make up for the missed one. Overdose: What Happens If I Take Too Much Delsym?There is no set dose that indicates an overdosage of Delsym. However, an overdose may cause the following symptoms:
If you experience these symptoms or see someone experiencing these symptoms after the consumption of Delsym, it’s very important to contact a poison control center or call 911 immediately. The sooner you get treated, the less likely it will be that complications occur. What Happens If I Overdose on Delsym?Delsym may cause other side effects. Call your healthcare provider if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication. If you experience a serious side effect, you or your provider may send a report to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting Program or by phone (800-332-1088). 911 PrecautionsDrug Content Provided and Reviewed by IBM Micromedex® If your cough has not improved after 7 days, if sore throat has not improved after 2 days, if you have a high fever, skin rash, or continuing headache with the cough, or if asthma or high blood pressure is present, check with your doctor. These signs may mean that you have other medical problems. Dissolve lozenges in the mouth with caution, to lessen the risk of choking. What Are Reasons I Shouldn’t Take Delsym?Do not take Delsym within 14 days of taking an MAOI inhibitor. If you plan on taking Delsym, you must know if you are taking a drug in that class. MAOIs can be used for depression, mood disorders, or Parkinson’s syndrome. When Delsym is taken with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, serotonin syndrome is more likely. Serotonin syndrome is a condition in which there is a dangerous increase in the concentrations of serotonin in your blood. Serotonin controls how your intestines digest food, how well your heart functions, and how you feel. However, whenever there is too much serotonin in your blood, the following symptoms may occur:
What Other Medications Interact With Delsym?Delsym is converted in the body by a protein family known as the CYP450 family or cytochrome P450s. There are many CYP450 sub-families, including the 2D6 sub-family. Dextromethorphan is almost completely metabolized by CYP4502D6, or CYP2D6. The medications that may interact with Delsym are drugs that impact how well CYP2D6 works. Some medications (CYP2D6 inhibitors) can decrease the action of CYP2D6, which increases the amount of Delsym in your body. Examples of CYP2D6 inhibitors include:
Conversely, some medications (CYP2D6 inducers) can increase the action of CYP2D6, which decreases the Delsym in your body. Examples of CYP2D6 inducers are below.
What Medications Are Similar?Delsym is a very common medication used during cold and flu season, but it is not the only medication that can treat a cough. Some examples of other cough medications include:
Benzonatate, available under the brand names Tessalon Perles and Zonatuss, is a cough medication similar to dextromethorphan. Both dextromethorphan and benzonatate are unlikely to be addictive since neither is in the opioid drug class. Compared with drugs in the opioid class (like codeine), Delsym and benzonatate tend to have fewer side effects. Codeine is part of the opioid drug class. Delsym was found to work as well, or sometimes better, than codeine in cough relief in clinical studies. Robitussin has the same active ingredient as Delsym (dextromethorphan). Guaifenesin, available under brand names such as Mucinex, is not a cough suppressant but is often used for cough because it helps thin mucus. Cough preparations often will have both guaifenesin and dextromethorphan together. This list is a list of drugs also prescribed for the targeted condition(s). It is NOT a list of drugs recommended to take with Delsym. In fact, some of these drugs you should not take together. For example, Robitussin and Delsym should NOT be taken together; they both have the same active ingredient, and you risk overdose. Ask your pharmacist or a healthcare practitioner if you have questions. Frequently Asked Questions
