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?). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2011-09-06 04:22:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 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. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2011-09-06 04:33:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 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.
