AIM To analyze the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of dextromethorphan-induced 5-hydroxytryptamine syndrome (5-HTS). METHODS Relevant cases of dextromethorphan-induced 5-HTS in PubMed,Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, CNKI, WanFang database, SinoMed, and VIP database were retrieved,and clinical data were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 16 cases of 5-HTS were collected, including 11 males and 5 females. Dextromethorphan could cause 5-HTS at both normal and excessive doses, and the majority (88%)of patients were co-administered with other 5-hydroxytryptamine drugs. The onset of 5-HTS occurred between 4 hours and 6 weeks after dextromethorphan administration, with symptoms including myoclonus, tachycardia, and fever. After discontinuation of dextromethorphan and other serotonergic drugs, along with supportive therapy, all patients improved.The mean duration of 5-HTS was 26 hours. Patients treated with cyproheptadine had a shorter duration of 5-HTS, averaging 21.6 hours. CONCLUSION Dextromethorphan-induced 5-HTS most often occurs when used in combination with other serotonergic drugs. It is recommended to strengthen management to reduce the abuse of dextromethorphan and unnecessary co-administration, as well as to improve the ability of physicians and pharmacists to recognize and monitor 5-HTS.
