Brand Name: Examples include Benadryl Allergy and Dytuss


Dytuss Elixir is used for:

Preventing or treating symptoms of hay fever and other upper respiratory allergies or the common cold, such as runny nose, sneezing, itching of the nose and throat, and itchy, watery eyes, and relieving cough. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Dytuss Elixir is an antihistamine and anticholinergic. It works by blocking the action of histamine, reducing the symptoms of an allergic reaction. It also works in the brain to cause sedation.


Do NOT use Dytuss Elixir if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Dytuss Elixir or other similar medicines

  • you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have a fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat

  • if you have a history of asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); chronic bronchitis; lung problems (eg, emphysema); shortness of breath; sleep apnea; heart blood vessel problems; stroke; seizures; a blockage of your stomach, intestine, or bladder; difficulty urinating; diabetes; ulcers; an enlarged prostate or other prostate problems; glaucoma; heart problems; high blood pressure; the blood disease porphyria; phenylketonuria; or an overactive thyroid

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Dytuss Elixir. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Sodium oxybate (GHB) because an increase in sleep duration and a decrease in the ability to breathe are likely to occur
