Bromphen pse dm have codeine?

Does bromphen/pseudoephedrine/dextromethorphan (Bromfed DM) contain codeine?

Bromfed DM (often written as brompheniramine + pseudoephedrine + dextromethorphan) does not contain codeine. Its main cough ingredient is dextromethorphan, not an opioid like codeine.

Why do some labels confuse people about codeine?

Codeine shows up on some cough medicines as “codeine” or “codeine phosphate.” If a product label lists dextromethorphan (or “DM”), it is typically a non-codeine cough suppressant.

How to check your exact product (quick label check)

Look at the active ingredients on your bottle/box:
- If you see brompheniramine + pseudoephedrine + dextromethorphan (DM) and no “codeine,” then it doesn’t have codeine.
- If you see “codeine” as an active ingredient, then that specific product is different from Bromfed DM.

What if you were prescribed something else for cough?

Some clinicians prescribe or dispense combo cough syrups that can include codeine. If you share the exact product name or active ingredients from the label (or a photo of the ingredient list), I can tell you whether codeine is included.
