Dytan-CS Suspension


Pronunciation: car-beta-PEN-tane/dye-fen-HYE-dra-meen/fen-ill-EF-rin
Generic Name: Carbetapentane/Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine
Brand Name: D-Tann CT and Dytan-CS


Dytan-CS Suspension is used for:

Relieving symptoms of sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and cough due to colds, upper respiratory infections, and allergies. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Dytan-CS Suspension is a decongestant, antihistamine, and cough suppressant combination. The decongestant works by constricting blood vessels and reducing swelling in the nasal passages. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms, such as watery eyes and sneezing. The cough suppressant works in the brain to help decrease the cough reflex to reduce a dry cough.


Do NOT use Dytan-CS Suspension if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Dytan-CS Suspension

  • you have severe high blood pressure, severe heart blood vessel disease, rapid heartbeat, or severe heart problems

  • you take sodium oxybate (GHB) or you have taken furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
