Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Science - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Name of ingredient
Japanese term or phrase: デキストロメトルファンフェノールフタリン塩
I'm translating several package inserts of Japanese drugs.

"デキストロメトルファンフェノールフタリン塩" is an active ingredient of a cough medicine, and I cannot find the English term of フェノールフタリン塩.

Does anyone know?

Thank you in advance.

dextromethorphane, phenolphthalinate
Explanation:
I am not a chemist, but as far as I can tell we are talking about two separate substances here. There actually seems to be a patent filled in the US (linked below) for a medicine containing these, in the same order too (could it be that you are looking at a Japanese version of the same document?).

Just as a note, the patent I mention uses the spelling "dextromethorphane" (which is why I kept it in my answer), but it seems most, if not all, other sources use "dextromethorphane" - it seems to me it's safe to assume the latter is the correct term in English (with the former being used in French), but you might want to double-check that.

A bit more research shows that "dextromethorphan phenolphthalinate" might also be a valid (and single) substance: https://data.epo.org/publication-server/getpdf.jsp?pn=216102... (see "Antitussive and expectorant drugs" on page 5) I also missed it in the first link I posted - it's mentioned towards the end, in "Formulation 4)"

As I wrote before, I'm not a chemist, so do double-check everything I'm saying here.
