Composition

Each ml of oral solution contains:

• Butamirate Citrate 5 mg

Therapeutic Class

• Non-opioid antitussive

• Cough suppressant

• Pediatric respiratory care

Pharmacology and Mechanism of Action

Butamirate Citrate acts on the cough center in the medulla oblongata, suppressing the cough reflex without exerting opioid-related sedative or respiratory depressive effects. Unlike traditional opioid cough suppressants, butamirate provides effective cough control with minimal risk of addiction, respiratory depression, or sedation.

The pediatric formulation ensures rapid absorption and a predictable pharmacokinetic profile, allowing for reliable once- or twice-daily dosing based on the child’s age and weight. This targeted action reduces coughing frequency and severity, improving sleep quality and overall comfort.
