Effectiveness
How Promethazine Dm Affects PatientsDextromethorphan is used together with other medicines to treat coughing and pseudobulbar affect. It is important to be careful with this drug, as taking too much can cause intoxication. The effects of dextromethorphan generally last for a moderate amount of time. Patients should be warned about the risk of taking too much of this medication.
How Promethazine Dm works in the bodyDextromethorphan works by activating and blocking certain receptors in the body. It activates NMDA and sigma-1 receptors, as well as blocking α3/β4 nicotinic receptors. Although it is not fully understood, this action is thought to have a beneficial effect on the body.

Promethazine Dm Reviews: What are patients saying about Promethazine Dm?
5Patient Review
5/1/2021 This treatment was very effective for my bronchitis.
5Patient Review
4/9/2022 This is the only treatment that has worked for me. I was sick for three weeks with upper respiratory problems, and the last doctor I saw at MD360 recommended this. I have finally had three full nights of sleep and feeling much better!
5Patient Review
6/29/2022 This treatment is highly effective for treating coughs related to Covid-19.
4.7Patient Review
10/28/2022 This medication was very effective at helping me fight the flu. I would wake up drenched in sweat, but it meant that the fever had broken and I could finally get some sleep. I took another dose that night and had a similar experience.
4.3Patient Review
12/28/2021 This treatment has helped me immensely with my cough. I was really struggling before, to the point where I didn't want to leave my house or see anyone. The promethazine-DM has made a huge difference and I'm now only coughing 10% of the time. However, I have experienced some weird dreams while taking it. Other than that, though, it's been great!
4.3Patient Review
3/18/2020 I didn't find this to be helpful for my cough at all. If anything, I think it made it worse.
4Patient Review
1/14/2022 I've been taking this for years and it's really helped me sleep. I'm a little frustrated that I wasn't prescribed the Prometh VC version, which has codeine in it, but overall this treatment has been great.
2.3Patient Review
11/13/2019 Unfortunately, this medicine didn't work for me at all. In fact, it made things worse as I coughed for five minutes every time I took it.
2.3Patient Review
4/19/2019 This medicine was prescribed to me for my cough, but it only made things worse. Not only did I not sleep at all, but my coughing fits kept me up all night.
2Patient Review
11/10/2019 Unfortunately, this medication made me cough more. I had to sleep upright and was still waking up coughing. The headaches from all the coughing were terrible, and I was always exhausted.
2Patient Review
1/3/2020 The article was great, but I'm still unclear on what an overdose looks like. It says to call 911, but what are the specific symptoms one should be looking for?
2Patient Review
2/18/2020 I was extremely disappointed with this product. I originally bought it to help control my cough from the flu, but it ended up keeping me awake all night long.
2Patient Review
3/29/20191.7Patient Review
5/9/2022 Unfortunately, this medication did not help me when I needed it most. I coughed continuously and couldn't get any rest. After a few days of usage, I decided to stop taking the medicine and thankfully started feeling better soon after.
1.7Patient Review
10/22/2022 NyQuil is better than this. Don't waste your time or money.
1Patient Review
5/9/2021 This drug has always worked wonders for me in the past, reducing cough and sinus congestion. I take two teaspoons before bed and it allows me to sleep soundly through the night.
1Patient Review
1/7/2020 This didn't help my cough at all. I'm going back to the doctor to ask for something else!
