A patient comes into the pharmacy and is looking for an OTC medication that could help with his dry, hacking cough so he could sleep at night. Identify OTC medications that can be used to suppress a cough.
Recommend an antitussive OTC medication. Antitussives could be dextromethorpan. Antitussives help your cough by deterring you cough reflex. If the patient needs help “getting rid” of his cough so he can fall asleep having an OTC product that works by blocking this could be useful/beneficial.
Optional: recommend a lozenge and counsel the patient to drink lots of fluids, especially water, to ease up on any soreness of throat caused by the dry cough.
