Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a widely used antitussive (cough suppressant) that provides effective relief from dry, irritating, and non-productive cough. It acts directly on the cough center in the medulla oblongata to suppress the cough reflex without affecting respiratory function. Known for its excellent safety profile, Dextromethorphan is a preferred ingredient in OTC (over-the-counter) cough and cold formulations.
At Bluepill Express, we manufacture and export pharma-grade Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide API under WHO-GMP, ISO, and cGMP-certified facilities. Our API complies with IP, BP, USP, and EP pharmacopeial standards, ensuring consistent purity, superior solubility, and stability for global pharmaceutical manufacturers.
It is commonly used alone or in combination with antihistamines, decongestants, and expectorants to treat various upper respiratory tract conditions. Bluepill Express ensures controlled particle size distribution, low impurity levels, and excellent compressibility, making it ideal for syrup, tablet, and capsule formulations.
Therapeutic Applications:
- Dry or non-productive cough
- Common cold and bronchitis
- Pharyngitis and laryngitis
- Cough associated with upper respiratory tract infections
- Combination formulations with antihistamines and decongestants
Mechanism of Action:
Dextromethorphan acts on the sigma-1 receptors and the cough center in the medulla, elevating the threshold for coughing. Unlike opioid cough suppressants, it has no analgesic or addictive properties, ensuring safety and effectiveness in both adult and pediatric use.
