Dextromethorphan does not have a significant affinity for the mu-opioid receptor activity typical of morphinan compounds and exerts its therapeutic effects through several other receptors. [8] In its pure form, dextromethorphan occurs as a white powder. [9] When exceeding approved dosages, dextromethorphan acts as a dissociative hallucinogen.
It is used to treat hypothyroidism, [1] but less preferred than levothyroxine. [1] It is taken by mouth. [1] Maximal effects may take up to three weeks to occur.

Methorphan comes in two isomeric forms, each with differing pharmacology and effects: Dextromethorphan – An over-the-counter cough suppressant, as well as dissociative hallucinogen. Levomethorphan – A potent opioid analgesic that was never clinically developed; a prodrug of the powerful opioid agonist analgesic levorphanol (Levo-Dromoran).
Adverse events are generally caused by incorrect dosing. Long-term suppression of TSH values below normal values frequently cause cardiac side effects and contribute to decreases in bone mineral density (low TSH levels are also well known to contribute to osteoporosis). [26] Too high a dose of levothyroxine causes hyperthyroidism.

[68] [69] Dogs which display coprophagy, the consumption of feces, and also live in a ...
