Dextromethorphan (DM) is a neuroprotective agent. The mechanism of action is believed to be by N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor blockade. The concentration of DM in the brain is believed to be dose and route dependent. Delivery by the nasal route has received a lot of attention recently, because drug absorption from this route follows intravenous profiles with no first-pass effect. The uptake of DM in the brain from the nasal route was 65.9% compared with the intravenous route, whereas the plasma bioavailability from the nasal route was 78.8%. The nasal route is a viable alternative to the parenteral route for DM administration.
