This medication is used to treat a certain mental/mood disorder (pseudobulbar affect). This disorder may occur due to various conditions that affect the brain (such as stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-ALS, multiple sclerosis). This medication may help decrease sudden outbursts of uncontrollable/inappropriate laughing and/or crying. This medication is a combination of 2 ingredients: dextromethorphan and quinidine. Dextromethorphan works in the brain, though it is not known exactly how it helps treat pseudobulbar affect. Quinidine is added to this medication to increase the effect of dextromethorphan.
Diarrhea, dizziness, cough, vomiting, weakness, or swelling in the hands/ankles/feet may occur. Rarely, slight drowsiness may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.

Tell your doctor right away if any of these serious side effects occur: easy bruising/bleeding, dark urine, muscle spasms, signs of infection (such as fever, persistent sore throat), stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, lupus-like symptoms (joint/muscle pain, chest pain). Get medical help right away if any of these serious side effects occur: fainting, fast/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness. This medication may increase serotonin and rarely cause a very serious condition called serotonin syndrome/toxicity.
