D-Tann CT


Generic Name: carbetapentane, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine (car bay tah PEN tane, die fen HIGH dra meen, and feh nill EH frin)

Brand Names: D-Tann CT, Dytan-CS


What is D-Tann CT (carbetapentane, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine)?

Carbetapentane is a cough suppressant.


Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in the body. Diphenhydramine prevents sneezing; itchy, watery eyes and nose; and other symptoms of allergies and hay fever.


Phenylephrine is a decongestant. It works by constricting (shrinking) blood vessels (veins and arteries) in the body. Constriction of blood vessels in the sinuses and nose decreases congestion.


Carbetapentane, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine is used to treat cough and nasal congestion associated with allergies or the common cold.


Carbetapentane, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
