Indications & Clinical Uses

Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is an antitussive that acts on the central cough centre to reduce the cough reflex.

  • Dry cough: reduces frequency and intensity of non‑productive coughs.
  • Cough due to upper respiratory tract infection: provides symptomatic relief.
  • Cough from throat irritation: suppresses the cough reflex without affecting breathing.

How It Works

  • Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide acts centrally on the medullary cough centre, likely via sigma‑1 receptor agonism, to inhibit the cough reflex. By modulating neuronal activity in the brainstem, it reduces the urge to cough while preserving normal respiratory function and does not possess analgesic or bronchodilatory properties.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Drowsiness: mild sedation may occur.
  • Nausea: occasional stomach upset.
  • Dizziness: transient light‑headedness.
  • Dry mouth: reduced salivation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
  • Respiratory depression: unusually slow breathing, especially if overdosed.
  • Hallucinations or confusion: rare central nervous system effects.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Lemocalm® Dry Cough, consider the following precautions:

  • Dosage adjustment: use lower dose in elderly or hepatic impairment.
  • Avoid alcohol: concurrent use may increase sedation.
  • Do not operate machinery: possible drowsiness may impair coordination.
  • Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to dextromethorphan.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide may interact with several medicines. Review the following interactions:

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • MAO inhibitors: risk of severe hypertension or serotonin syndrome.
  • SSRIs and other serotonergic agents: increased risk of serotonin syndrome.
  • Linezolid: similar serotonergic risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Alcohol: may enhance central nervous system depression.
  • Antihistamines: additive sedative effect.
  • Other cough suppressants containing codeine: increased risk of respiratory depression.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lemocalm® Dry Cough is formulated to relieve dry, non‑productive coughs. It is used when a cough does not produce mucus and is causing irritation or discomfort, helping to reduce the frequency and intensity of the cough reflex.

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide acts on the cough centre in the medulla of the brain, likely through sigma‑1 receptor agonism. By modulating neuronal signaling, it suppresses the cough reflex without impairing normal breathing or causing analgesia.

The appropriate dose of Lemocalm® Dry Cough is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.

Safety data for dextromethorphan during pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using Lemocalm® Dry Cough.

To order Lemocalm® Dry Cough, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Lemocalm® contains dextromethorphan, a non‑opioid antitussive that works centrally without the analgesic or addictive properties of codeine. Codeine cough syrups provide both cough suppression and mild pain relief but carry higher risks of sedation, dependence and respiratory depression, especially at higher doses.

Store Lemocalm® Dry Cough at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme heat to maintain stability and potency.

Lemocalm® Dry Cough is taken orally, usually as a tablet or liquid preparation, as directed by a healthcare professional. The dose is swallowed with water and should be taken at the intervals prescribed, without crushing or chewing unless the formulation specifically allows it.

Serious risks, though rare, include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or difficulty breathing, respiratory depression especially if overdosed, and central nervous system effects like hallucinations or confusion. Seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to dextromethorphan or any component of the formulation should avoid Lemocalm® Dry Cough. It is also contraindicated in patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or those with a history of severe serotonin syndrome.
