Buratuss SR Tablet 50 mg is a sustained-release antitussive medication formulated with Butamirate Citrate as its active ingredient. It is designed for the effective management of dry, irritating, and non-productive cough in adults and adolescents. The sustained-release (SR) formulation ensures prolonged therapeutic action, helping to control cough symptoms over an extended period with fewer daily doses.

Buratuss SR Tablet is particularly useful in conditions where persistent coughing causes discomfort, chest irritation, or sleep disturbance. As a non-opioid cough suppressant, it offers effective cough control without the risks of dependence or respiratory depression.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Butamirate Citrate 50 mg

• Dosage Form: Sustained-Release Tablet

• Pharmacological Class: Non-opioid antitussive

Mechanism of Action

Butamirate Citrate works by acting centrally on the cough center in the brain, reducing the sensitivity of the cough reflex. This action suppresses coughing without affecting normal breathing. Unlike opioid-based antitussives, Butamirate Citrate does not bind to opioid receptors, which significantly lowers the risk of sedation, addiction, or respiratory suppression.

Additionally, Butamirate Citrate has mild bronchodilatory and anti-inflammatory effects, which help reduce airway irritation and ease breathing. The sustained-release formulation allows gradual release of the medicine, maintaining consistent cough control throughout the day or night.
