Dxm
Dxm - 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.
