Are There Any Interactions Between Delsym Cough Syrup And Ritalin?
Just gave my grandson some Delsym cough medicine - he is 6 years old and started a cough yesterday, got worse this evening so gave to him before I really thought about his other medication, Ritalin?? Now I am very worried because I did not think to ask about this or consider the fact they may interact until now. Will he be ok?
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. Delsym is a cough medicines that consists of Dextromethorphan. The drug is a morphine drug and the drug is used commonly in some OTC cough suppressants. Ritalin is an amphetamine medicine that is used in Attention deficit disorders (ADD). Both drugs have different pharmacology and there are no significant interactions between these two drugs. So these can be used without any worries.
Consult his doctor before giving him the medicines.
