Diane,

I am not familiar with that. I'll check into it.

I looked through my nursing drug books and could not identify what med you

might be talking about.

Does anyone know what it might be?

Thanks.

Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It is used for coughs and upper

respiratory symptoms. It is common in many of the cough formulas. Unfortunately,

I don't know how this relates to what Diane was saying, but with the above maybe

someone else knows.
