COMPLETE GUIDE TO DXM IN NONPRESCRIPTION DRUGS
Included below are 80 non-prescription medications
containing various forms of DXM. Listed are the
active ingredients, any relative notes or cautions,
and a rating of the medication.
Ratings are based on the amount of DXM in the
medication and if any harmful ingredients
are available. Ratings range from one * to
4 *'s, with no *'s being the worst rating;
if something is rated with no *'s, you should
avoid taking it, probably because of the presence
of Acetaminophen in the medication or very low
amounts of DXM.
