A member asked:
Hi docs, would mucinex (guaifenesin) dm get you high ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Dextromethorphan is in the Codeine family, but unlike Codeine or hydrocodone (Vicodin) it isn't an active opioid and therefore available OTC without prescription and unregulated by DEA as a controlled substance (unclassed). Cough medicine with Codeine would require a prescription because of abuse potential.
