Does polytussin dm have codeine in it?

Does Polytussin DM contain codeine?

Polytussin DM is a cough medicine combination that uses dextromethorphan (DM) as the cough suppressant and does not include codeine in its formulation. Codeine is an opioid cough suppressant, and it’s not part of Polytussin DM products.

What should I check on the label to be sure?

Different cough products with similar names can vary by country or manufacturer. To confirm whether your specific bottle has codeine, look for “codeine” in the active ingredients section. If you only see dextromethorphan (DM) (and possibly an antihistamine or other ingredient depending on the exact product), it generally means there is no codeine.

What if my bottle says something else (or it’s not exactly Polytussin DM)?

Some stores sell multiple “Polytussin” variants (for example, versions that may include different active ingredients). If you can share the exact active-ingredient lines from the label (or a photo of the drug facts panel), I can tell you whether codeine is listed.
