Abstract
Dextromethorphan is used to lower blood pressure in a subject suffering from hypertension, alone or in combination with another anti-hypertensive agent. In particular, dextromethorphan acts synergistically with a calcium channel blocker, such as amlodipine, to result in a major improvement in the treatment of hypertension, with no or little adverse effects.
