500			_aDextromethorphan (DXM) has been repurposed several times over the past 7 decades: first as a cough suppressant, then as a compounded formulation with quinidine for treatment of pseudobulbar affect, and most recently as a compounded formulation with bupropion for treatment of major depressive disorder.
