| | Dextromethorphan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hours after dextromethorphan therapy, (in humans) the metabolites (+)-3-hydroxy-N-methylmorphinan, (+)-3-morphinan, and traces of the unchanged drug are detectable in the urine. | | | Since their introduction, preparations containing the over-the-counter drug dextramorphan have been used in a manner inconsistent with their labeling, often as a recreational drug or for spiritual experiences. | | | There exists, therefore, the potential of drug-drug interactions between dextromethorphan and concomitant medications. |
