So I’ve gotten a little cough (nothing serious, just a tickle sometimes) so I’ve decided to get some cold and flu meds from the pharmacy (trying to tackle my sneezing as well).
I’ve got a question for those using cough suppressants on here, which one is better; dextromethorphan (DXM) or camphor ?
I’m going to have a short talk with the pharmacist just in case they interact with my meds.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Sending love.
DXM can interact with a lot of medications, camphor is the safer choice.
you can probably use Medscape Interactions checker for possible interactions, dxm is better for dry coughs.
Yeah, I keep reading that DXM interacts with APs and anti anxiety meds.
Ill talk to my pharmacist about Camphor.
Thanks @Putrefactio 
Sometimes one of the soothing cough medicines will help with a tickly cough.
As the previous reply mentioned, Dextromethorphan (and Codeine) are effective for dry coughs.
