Description |
This is used for the suppression of
cough. Cough occurs due to stimulation of Receptors
in throat and respiratory passages. Non productive
cough is not useful and it should be suppressed. Productive
cough causes expulsion of secretion and foreign particles
from respiratory passages. Anti Tussives act with
the level of cough centre in brain and inhibit cough.
Anti Tussives are used mainly for unproductive dry
cough and if the cough is hazardous. Dextromethorphan
is an anti tussive drug which exerts its action in
CNS to elevate the threshold of coughing. Its potency
is nearly equal to that of codeine. It does not inhibit
ciliary activity and its anti tussive effect persists
for 5-6 hours. In extremely high doses, it may produce
CNS Depression.
