A member asked:
Which antitussive is most effective, dextromethorphan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's the most common: This is a good one and very available. The most potent anti-tussives are narcotic cough medications. They must be used with caution. One must have a prescription for most of these. I don't shill for companies but i find "delsym" a very good otc cough medication.
