That plus all the menthol, expectorants, etc. that somewhat help with the other symptoms that usually come with cough and cold.
Anyway, it is indeed all in the FAQ, and better explained there than I could (or would want to right now).
And DXM is not that good of an antitussive anyway... which is why I feared it would be removed from the shelves, too many kids getting fucked up and too few coughs cured. Great to learn that prohibition isn't there yet.



That made sense. Thanks for clarification .
