How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Dextromethorphan HBr 30 mg Suppository is a compounded medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with various conditions such as cough, cold, flu, allergies, and asthma. It functions by inhibiting the activity of certain chemicals in the brain that trigger coughing. The suppository form of this medication is particularly beneficial as it is absorbed directly through the rectal mucosa, facilitating a more immediate and efficient delivery of the medication into the bloodstream. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals who struggle with swallowing pills or capsules.

When using the Dextromethorphan HBr 30 mg Suppository, it is crucial to adhere to the guidelines provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. The suppository should be inserted into the rectum and should remain in place for a minimum of 15 minutes before removal. It is important to remember that the suppository should not be used more frequently than once every four hours.

While Dextromethorphan HBr 30 mg Suppository is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or drowsiness. If you encounter any of these side effects, it is imperative to immediately contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

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.
