Does Dextromethorphan (the ingrediant in triple Cs) actual put Leisures (holes) in your brain?
Dextromethorphan is used to temporarily relieve cough caused by the common cold, the flu, or other conditions. Dextromethorphan will relieve a cough but will not treat the cause of the cough or speed recovery. Dextromethorphan is in a class of medications called antitussives. It works by decreasing activity in the part of the brain that causes coughing. When injected directly into the blood stream, some studies suggest that dextromethorphan has the potential to cause Olney’s Lesions. Olney’s lesions, also known as NMDA receptor antagonist neurotoxicity (NAN), are a form of brain damage (not proven in humans) caused by high doses of dissociative anaesthetics, particularly those referred to as “uncompetitive NMDA-channel-blockers” such as ketamine, phencyclidine (PCP), and dextromethorphan (DXM).
