Used to suppress non-productive (dry) coughs associated with conditions such as upper respiratory infections, bronchitis, laryngitis, or other respiratory irritations where suppressing the cough reflex is therapeutically beneficial.
Acts as an antitussive agent, likely working through central mechanisms by influencing the cough center in the medulla oblongata to reduce the frequency and intensity of coughing.
Not recommended for productive coughs where expectoration is needed. Should be used under medical supervision. As with all antitussives, it treats symptoms rather than underlying causes, so appropriate diagnosis of the cough etiology is important.
