Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Dextromethorphan HBr 15 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a solid dosage form, designed for easy swallowing and precise dosage delivery. It is primarily used for the treatment of cough, bronchitis, common cold, flu, and asthma. The medication works by suppressing the cough reflex and decreasing the activity of the vagus nerve, which in turn reduces the severity of coughing. It also aids in reducing inflammation in the airways, thereby alleviating the symptoms of bronchitis, common cold, flu, and asthma.

It is crucial to note that this formulation is not recommended for use in children under the age of 12, as its effects have not been studied in this age group. Furthermore, it should not be used by patients with a known hypersensitivity to Dextromethorphan or any of the inactive ingredients in the formulation.

Patients should be vigilant for any adverse effects and should immediately contact their healthcare provider if any occur. For any further queries or concerns regarding this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Dextromethorphan HBr 15 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded oral medication primarily used for the treatment of cough, bronchitis, common cold, flu, and asthma. It functions by inhibiting the action of certain chemicals in the brain that trigger coughing. Additionally, it aids in reducing inflammation in the airways, which can alleviate the severity of asthma symptoms.

This medication is available in two formulations: immediate-release and extended-release. The immediate-release formulation is designed for intake every 4-6 hours as required for symptom relief. On the other hand, the extended-release formulation is intended for once-daily intake and is engineered to provide sustained symptom relief throughout the day.

Generally, Dextromethorphan HBr 15 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is well tolerated by most patients. However, common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea. It is crucial for patients to avoid taking this medication if they are currently on certain other medications, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), due to the potential for serious interactions. Similarly, patients with allergies to any of the ingredients in the formulation should refrain from taking Dextromethorphan HBr 15 mg Capsules (Gluten Free).

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
