Trixidee,
The DXM preparation I use is a pediatric cough syrup. It does contain some sweetener, but no colorants or dyes. It is important that the product contains only dextromethorphan HBr, with no added antihistamines, polystyril (for slow release) or guafinesin.
The "Pediacare Cough" and "Triaminic Long Acting Cough" with the DXM at 7.5mg/tsp concentration, available in the USA, is what I have used. The 3.5 to 4 mg doses are easier to measure than if it is at 15mg/tsp, as in the preperations intended for adults.
