Active Ingredients: Dextromethorphan HBR 15mg (Cough Suppressant)
Cough Relief is a powerful chest congestion remover and cough suppressant available as an over-the-counter medication to combat a variety of symptoms stemming from the common cold. An FDA-approved antitussive medication, it is in the same group of drugs as Delsym and Vicks.
Cough Relief effectively treats major and minor cough fits with an active suppression matrix that works for several hours after initial usage. While the medication is best used to suppress coughs stemming from cold symptoms, it can be used to treat any sort of chest congestion and most minor throat infections that cause irritation.
Since Cough Relief is an over-the-counter Robitussin DM alternative, dosing doesn’t require a prescription from a certified medical professional for purchase. The best way to take Cough Relief is with water, every 4-6 hours, in the presence of symptoms. If unsure of the exact dosage or interval, consult a medical professional.
It’s advised to always consult with a health care professional before administering a dose to children, or taking additional doses past what’s recommended.
The Dextromethorphan in Cough Relief affects the portion of your brain that’s responsible for producing the cough reflex. It hampers the nerve signals between the brain and the throat, which results in a stop to coughing for the effective duration.
Due to the aforementioned effect, Dextromethorphan can both stop and prevent ongoing cough fits, as well as heaving due to congestion.
ValuMeds Cough Relief DM is one of the most successful alcohol-free, multi-symptom Robitussin cough syrup alternatives available in the market, with an ideal mix of maximum strength expectorant ingredients that work to prevent severe cough and clear fluid buildup.
Dextromethorphan is typically used as a cough remedy. However, it’s better to understand some of the primary uses of the drug, which include:
Cough Suppression: As mentioned, the main use of the Dextromethorphan compound is to relieve the symptoms of cough from both cold and flu. It’s usually administered in cases of dry cough, where there is an absence of phlegm and fluid buildup. The medicine is used as a temporary relief measure, or as an accompaniment to antihistamines and pain relievers such as acetaminophen.
Sore Throat: While cough suppression is always the primary use of Dextromethorphan, it can also be used to provide comfort against irritation of the throat due to mild-to-minor infections of the air passages and prolonged inflammation.
Congestion: The antitussive properties of the accompanying ingredient blend makes this an effective medication for clearing light congestion in the bronchial passageway and aiding in relieving cough via mucoactive action.
Since it is a nerve signal blocker, Dextromethorphan does not have the typical side effects of the active ingredients inside most cough medicines.

Here are the common side effects of Dextromethorphan:
