Description:
DXM is also used recreationally. When exceeding label-specified maximum dosages, dextromethorphan acts as a dissociative hallucinogen. Its mechanism of action is via multiple effects, including actions as a nonselective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and a sigma-1 receptor agonist. The major metabolite of DXM, dextrorphan, also acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist. In high doses this produces effects similar to, yet distinct from, the dissociative states created by other dissociative anaesthetic .
Usage:
1. An antitussive drug. Orally active synthetic morphine analog. Analgesic (narcotic). Racemethorphan and levomethorpham are controlled substances (opiates).
2. Antitussive;Opioid ligand
