We are aware of FDA’s proposed order to remove oral phenylephrine (PE) as a nasal decongestant from the OTC monograph. Note, FDA’s proposed order does not question the safety of oral PE, only efficacy. We have introduced several new formulations across our brand portfolios, to remove oral PE, to ensure product availability for consumers to treat their symptoms ahead of the 2024/2025 cold, cough, flu season and to provide new remedies and forms to ensure people have options.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Does the DM Mean in Robitussin Products?

    The DM in Robitussin products refers to the active ingredient dextromethorphan HBr, a cough suppressant.

  • How Does Robitussin Work?

    Robitussin products work by helping relieve cough symptoms through active ingredients like dextromethorphan HBr, a cough suppressant, and guaifenesin, which helps loosen and thin mucus in the respiratory tract.

    Some Robitussin products contain other active ingredients to help relieve symptoms that often accompany coughs. These include antihistamines such as doxylamine succinate and diphenhydramine HCl for itchy, watery eyes and also runny nose, itching of the nose or throat, and for fever, headaches, and body aches.

    See our Product Finder to find the best cough relief medicine for you.

  • Does Robitussin Make You Sleepy?
