That depends on what you mean by "narcotic."

Technically "narcotic" originally meant any drug with sleep-inducing properties. Both promethazine and dextromethorphan, the active ingredients in Promethazine DM, have such properties.

However, "narcotic" is defined in US law in such a way that neither of these substances is considered a narcotic drug.
