'''Dextrorphan''' (also known as '''DXO''') is the main active metabolite of [[dextromethorphan]] ('''DXM'''). DXM is metabolized in the body by o-demethylation through the CYP2D6 enzyme to form DXO. Both are active chemicals and contribute to the [[DXM#Subjective effects|subjective effects]] experienced when active doses of DXM are consumed.<ref>Dextromethorphan: An update on its utility for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders - 3.
