Butetamate Citrate is primarily used to treat bronchospasm associated with respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other obstructive airway disorders.
As an anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) agent, Butetamate Citrate blocks acetylcholine from binding to muscarinic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, leading to bronchodilation and improved airway patency.
Common anticholinergic side effects may include dry mouth, throat irritation, and blurred vision. Patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, urinary retention, or severe heart conditions should use with caution. Should be used under medical supervision as directed.
