Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine


Pronunciation: DEX-troe-meth-OR-fan/KLOR-fen-IR-a-meen/METH-skoe-POL-a-meen
Generic Name: Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine
Brand Name: Generic only. No brands available.


Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine is used for:

Relieving coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes due to colds, upper respiratory infections, or allergies. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine is an antihistamine, anticholinergic and cough suppressant combination. The antihistamine works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes sneezing, runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes. The anticholinergic works by drying the mucous membranes in the nose and chest. The cough suppressant works in the brain to help decrease the cough reflex to reduce coughing.


Do NOT use Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine

  • you have bladder blockage, heart disease, increased eye pressure or glaucoma, muscle weakness (eg, myasthenia gravis), overactive thyroid, severe bowel problems (eg, toxic megacolon), severe esophagus problems (eg, reflux esophagitis), severe high blood pressure

  • you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB) or a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) (eg, fluoxetine)

  • you are taking or have taken furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the past 14 days

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine:


Some medical conditions may interact with Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have a hiatal hernia; diabetes; esophagus problems (eg, reflux disease); high blood pressure; irregular heartbeat, congestive heart failure, or other heart problems; overactive thyroid; stomach or bowel problems (eg, blockage, constipation, motility problems, ulcerative colitis); or increased eye pressure, glaucoma, or you are at risk of developing glaucoma

  • if you have a history of bladder or kidney problems, prostate gland problems (eg, enlarged prostate), or trouble urinating

  • if you have a history of asthma, chronic cough, lung or breathing problems (eg, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, sleep apnea, slow or irregular breathing), or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or if your cough occurs with large amounts of mucus

  • if you have a history of alcohol abuse

  • if you take potassium chloride tablets

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Furazolidone, MAOIs (eg, phenelzine) or sodium oxybate (GHB) because the risk of serious side effects, such as high blood pressure or severe drowsiness, may be increased

  • SSRIs (eg, fluoxetine) because the risk of a serious side effect called serotonin syndrome may be increased. Symptoms of serotonin syndrome may include diarrhea, fast heartbeat, fever, hallucinations, increased sweating, loss of coordination, mental or mood changes, muscle spasms, nausea, or vomiting

  • Anticholinergic medicines (eg, benztropine), barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because they may increase the risk of Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine's side effects

  • Butyrophenones (eg, haloperidol) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Dextromethorphan/Chlorpheniramine/Methscopolamine
