Is dextromethorphan tablets classified as a Category II psychotropic drug?

Under normal circumstances, "dextromethorphan tablets" refer to dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets, and "Class II psychotropic drugs" refer to Category II psychotropic substances. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets are not classified as Category II psychotropic substances. The detailed analysis is as follows:

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets are central cough suppressants suitable for coughs with little phlegm. Their primary mechanism is suppressing the cough center in the medulla oblongata, thereby relieving coughing. They are indicated for dry coughs caused by various conditions, including coughs resulting from colds, pharyngitis, bronchitis, and others. Therefore, dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets do not belong to Category II psychotropic substances. It should be noted that dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets should be used with caution in patients with asthma, excessive sputum production, or impaired liver or kidney function. During treatment, patients should avoid activities requiring high concentration, such as driving or operating machinery at heights. Additionally, this medication may interact with other drugs; therefore, it is recommended to take it under the guidance of a physician.

Medications should be used only under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Patients must not self-medicate, to avoid adverse reactions.
