One example of this is with the dissociative drug [[DXM]]. DXM, or dextromethorphan, is the isomer that rotates clockwise is plane-polarised light. It has antitussive (cough-suppressant) and dissociative effects. Levomethorphan is the isomer that rotates anti-clockwise in plane-polarised light. This difference in rotation leads to different effects to DXM; levomethorphan is an opioid painkiller. | One example of this is with the dissociative drug [[DXM]].
