What is Nuedexta?

Nuedexta is a prescription medication given to adults to treat a condition called pseudobulbar affect.

Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a disorder where you have sudden episodes of inappropriate and uncontrollable laughing and/or crying. If you have PBA, you may experience emotions normally, but have periods where your reactions to your emotions are exaggerated or your reactions feel disconnected from your emotions.

Although PBA can be debilitating and feel uncontrollable at times, it can be treated with medications like Nuedexta. Nuedexta reduces the intensity of crying and laughing episodes, making them less likely, shorter, and less severe. You take Nuedexta as a capsule you swallow daily. Your doctor will tell you precisely how many capsules to take, how often, and for how long.

More information on what is Nuedexta and Nuedexta dosage

Nuedexta active ingredients

Nuedexta contains two active ingredients: dextromethorphan hydrobromide and quinidine sulfate. They work together to alter activity in your brain and nerves to reduce the intensity of crying and laughing episodes.

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a sedative that affects your brain. Once it passes through the blood-brain barrier, it binds to areas on your brain cells called receptors. This slows and calms certain areas of brain function that are involved in emotion and the process of how you react to external stimuli.

Quinidine aids in the action of dextromethorphan by stopping it from being broken down in the body. This allows dextromethorphan to have more time to take effect.

Nuedexta side effects

The most common side effects caused by Nuedexta include:

• Dizziness
• A cough
• Gas (flatulence)
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Tiredness/lack of energy
• Flu-like symptoms

Occasionally, Nuedexta can cause more serious side effects. While these are rarer, they can include:

• A heart rhythm problem called QT prolongation

• An increased risk of serotonin syndrome if you take Nuedexta with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs) antidepressant or tricyclic antidepressant

Nuedexta can interact with other medications. When this happens, it can change how Nuedexta and the other medications work. It can also make some side effects more likely. Tell your prescribing doctor about all drugs you are taking, including vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements, particularly:

• Any antidepressant medications

• Digoxin a medication used to treat various heart conditions including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and heart failure
