Frequently asked questions

What is Lemocalm® Dry Cough used for?+
Lemocalm® Dry Cough is formulated to relieve dry, non‑productive coughs. It is used when a cough does not produce mucus and is causing irritation or discomfort, helping to reduce the frequency and intensity of the cough reflex.
How does dextromethorphan hydrobromide work?+
Dextromethorphan hydrobromide acts on the cough centre in the medulla of the brain, likely through sigma‑1 receptor agonism. By modulating neuronal signaling, it suppresses the cough reflex without impairing normal breathing or causing analgesia.
What is the usual dose of Lemocalm® Dry Cough?+
The appropriate dose of Lemocalm® Dry Cough is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.
Is Lemocalm® Dry Cough safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for dextromethorphan during pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using Lemocalm® Dry Cough.
How do I order Lemocalm® Dry Cough from GNH USA?+
To order Lemocalm® Dry Cough, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Lemocalm® compare with codeine‑based cough syrups?+
Lemocalm® contains dextromethorphan, a non‑opioid antitussive that works centrally without the analgesic or addictive properties of codeine. Codeine cough syrups provide both cough suppression and mild pain relief but carry higher risks of sedation, dependence and respiratory depression, especially at higher doses.

Store Lemocalm® Dry Cough at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme heat to maintain stability and potency.
How is Lemocalm® Dry Cough administered?+
Lemocalm® Dry Cough is taken orally, usually as a tablet or liquid preparation, as directed by a healthcare professional. The dose is swallowed with water and should be taken at the intervals prescribed, without crushing or chewing unless the formulation specifically allows it.
What are the most serious risks to watch for when using Lemocalm® Dry Cough?+
Serious risks, though rare, include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or difficulty breathing, respiratory depression especially if overdosed, and central nervous system effects like hallucinations or confusion. Seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.
Who should not use Lemocalm® Dry Cough?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to dextromethorphan or any component of the formulation should avoid Lemocalm® Dry Cough. It is also contraindicated in patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or those with a history of severe serotonin syndrome.
