Gastric emptying (emesis and/or gastric lavage) is recommended as soon as possible after ingestion. Overdosage with Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide may produce excitement and mental confusion. Very high doses may produce respiratory depression. One case of toxic psychosis (hyper-activity, marked visual and auditory hallucinations) after ingestion of a single 300 mg dose of Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide has been reported. Menthol can be harmful in large amounts. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, rapid breathing etc.

Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in the chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through the mouth.

Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant. It affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.

Menthol is an organic compound made synthetically or obtained from corn mint, peppermint, or other mint oils. It has local anesthetic and counterirritant qualities, and it is widely used to relieve minor throat irritation.
