Composition

Each 5 ml of syrup contains:

• Butamirate Citrate 7.5 mg

Therapeutic Class

• Non-opioid antitussive

• Cough suppressant

• Respiratory symptomatic relief

Pharmacology and Mechanism of Action

Butamirate Citrate acts directly on the cough center in the medulla oblongata, inhibiting the reflex responsible for coughing. Unlike opioid-based cough suppressants, it does not depress respiration, induce sedation, or carry a risk of dependency.

After oral administration, butamirate is rapidly absorbed, providing reliable cough suppression for several hours. By reducing the frequency and intensity of coughing, it improves comfort, facilitates sleep, and supports faster recovery in patients with respiratory irritation.

Indications

Butacit Syrup 7.5 mg/5 ml is indicated for the symptomatic relief of:

• Dry, non-productive cough

• Cough associated with upper respiratory tract infections

• Cough due to bronchitis or other inflammatory respiratory conditions

Note: It is not recommended for productive coughs where mucus clearance is essential.

Dosage and Administration

The syrup is administered orally, and the dosage should be tailored to the patient’s age, weight, and clinical condition. A calibrated measuring device should be used to ensure accurate dosing. Typical dosing is as follows:

• Adults: 5–10 ml, 3 times daily

• Children: Dosage according to weight and pediatric guidance

The syrup can be taken with or without food. Treatment should not exceed the prescribed duration, and the patient should consult a physician if cough persists beyond 7 days.
