how do you isolate dextromathorpan from OTC cough syrup?

[no1]

I just recently learned about dextromethorphan, and I heared that you can get it from cough syrup. I also heard that it can be harmful if you take it with the other substances in the cough syrup. I've just started getting into organic chemistry so I don't know how to do it on my own, but I hoping that some one on here could help me. One more thing, Im not dumb enough to try this right away as i'll wait to get better at organic chemistry to see if it check out.

Will it work with dxm hbr?

Acid-base DXM extraction

Please note that it is critical to understand that this process can only be used with syrups containing DXM only, or with Guaifenesin added as well, as the active medical ingredients. It will not remove Tylenol or any other drug, so they will end up in your finished product, and could hurt you...

try this, this is for HBr :b

So the contents in it are
Pseudoephedrine hcl
Triprolidine
Dxm hbr...that's all you think it will work?

 

[fidelis]

no, it won't remove any other drugs. i could probably find extraction tutorials for the other 2 but utfse...

dxm is relatively cheap, can't you get (or steal ^_^) a bottle with only dxm and maybe guaifenesin as the active ingredients?

Yes that's what I'll be doing... thank you very much
