ABSTRACT
Cough constitutes an important medical problem in all ages. Although treatment of underlying pathologies, e.g., bronchial asthma, upper respiratory tract infection, etc. is well justified to cure cough, non-specific therapy in the form of a number of antitussive agents like, codeine, dextromethorphan, etc. is widely practiced to suppress it. Most of these agents are efficacious and well-tolerated. Nevertheless, CNS toxicities may occur in new-borns, especially those with immature metabolic profile. Some recent reports about interactions (involving hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes) between dextromethorphan and other drugs are also noteworthy.
