Are there are cough syrups without codeine?

Yes: Dextramethorphan also seen on labels as "dm" is a common non-narcotic cough suppressant. It is marketed as delsym (dextromethorphan). Before using cough suppressant medications, check with your physician to assess the cause of the cough so it can be treated directly rather than just suppressing it.
