The Truth About ‘Non-Drowsy’ Cough Medicines: They Cause Drowsiness

Many “Non-Drowsy” cough-medicine brands actually contain a drug that has been found to cause drowsiness.

This drug is called dextromethorphan hydrobromide, or DXM.  This drug targets the cough centers of your brain to stop you from coughing — but it has also been known to make people feel drowsy or sleepy.  Drowsiness is a documented side-effect of DXM.
