I discuss dextromethorphan pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions, and more on this podcast episode. CYP2D6 metabolizes Dextromethorphan. A commonly used antidepressant is a CYP2D6 inhibitor. I discuss this on the podcast. Dextromethorphan is a commonly used OTC cough suppressant. There is potential for abuse with this medication.
