Virtually all Over-The-Counter cough medicine contains dextromethorphan hydrobromide (HBr). The Delsym brand contains dextromethorphan polystyrex, which is a more gradual release form.
Check the ACTIVE INGREDIENTS list on the box. Some contain acetaminophen (Tylenol), guaifenesin(sp?) (Mucinex), and/or phenylephrine hydrochloride as well as dextromethorphan. However it shouldn't be hard to find cough medicine only containing dextromethorphan HBr as an active ingredient.
The most common form I see is as a thin (liquidy) syrup, thick syrup, melt tabs (off-brand at Walmart), and as caplets (Robitussin only).
Typically it's 15mg per 5ml, or 354mg per standard 4oz (118ml) bottle.
