Overview

Dextromethorphan + guaifenesin is a combination pharmaceutical developed by Strides Pharma Science. It is a small molecule drug administered orally, primarily indicated for the relief of cough and chest congestion. Dextromethorphan acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist and a Sigma-1 receptor agonist, providing antitussive (cough suppressant) effects. Guaifenesin functions as an expectorant, helping to thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to clear from the chest.
