Bukof 50mg 10pcs

Indications of Bukof 50 Tablet

A cough suppressant called butamirate citrate is used to treat dry (non-productive) cough. Your dry cough could be caused by a recent viral infection. Butamirate Citrate is also used to calm patients' coughs before and after bronchoscopies and surgical procedures. Any acute cough, including whooping cough and cough brought on by acute lower respiratory tract infections, may be treated with it (tracheitis, laryngitis).

Pharmacology of Bukof 50 Tablet

By directly influencing the cough center in the brain, butamirate citrate reduces coughing. Butamirate Citrate is a non-sedating, non-toxic substance that is neither chemically nor pharmacologically related to opium alkaloids. Butamirate citrate is quickly and completely absorbed after oral administration. In nine hours, the sustained-release tablet reaches its peak concentration. This organism is very tightly bound to proteins.

• 2-3 tablets of butamirate citrate 50 mg should be taken daily.

Interaction of Bukof 50 Tablet

When combined with erythromycin or ketoconazole, ebastine's plasma level increases, and the QTc interval lengthens. The pharmacokinetics of theophylline, warfarin, cimetidine, diazepam, or alcohol are unaffected by ebastine. It's possible that alcohol and diazepam will have stronger sedative effects.

Contraindications

Intolerance to the active ingredient.

Side Effect of Bukof 50 Tablet

It is good to tolerate butamirate citrate. In a few rare instances, adverse reactions like rash, nausea, diarrhea, and vertigo have been noted; these symptoms usually go away after a dose reduction or treatment discontinuation.

Pregnancy & Lactation

During the first trimester of pregnancy, butamirate citrate should be avoided. It can be used if a doctor recommends it for the rest of the pregnancy, but only with caution. In the absence of data on the active substance's elimination in breast milk, the benefits of Butamirate Citrate administration during breastfeeding should be carefully weighed against the risks of breastfeeding.

Precautions & Warnings

Because butamirate citrate inhibits the cough reflex, it shouldn't be taken with expectorants because this could result in mucus retention in the airways, which raises the risk of bronchospasm and respiratory infections. If the cough persists for more than seven days, a doctor should be consulted (or more than 3 days in children under the age of 12).

Storage Conditions

Store below 30°C, away from light, in a cool, dry place. Keep out of children's reach.
