Generic Description

Butamirate Citrate acts directly on the brain's cough center to suppress cough. Butamirate Citrate is safe and non-sedating which is neither chemically nor pharmacologically related to opium alkaloids. Butamirate Citrate is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration. Maximum concentration is reached within 9 hours with the sustained-release tablet. This is extremely protein-bound and plasma elimination half-life is about 13 hours. The active metabolites of Butamirate Citrate have also antitussive action.

Precaution Warning

Butamirate Citrate suppresses the cough reflex and therefore the concomitant use with expectorants should be avoided, since it may lead to mucus retention in the airways, which increases the risk of bronchospasm and respiratory infections. If the cough persists for more than 7 days (more than 3 days in children younger than12 years of age) doctor must be consulted.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Butamirate Citrate should not be used during the first trimester of pregnancy. During the remainder of pregnancy, it can be used if indicated by a physician but with caution. As a general rule, for safety reasons, in the absence of data on elimination of the active substance in breast milk, the benefits of Butamirate Citrate administration during breast feeding should be carefully weighed against the risks.
