Butamirate Citrate acts directly on the brain's cough center to suppress cough. It is safe and non-sedating, not chemically or pharmacologically related to opium alkaloids. Butamirate Citrate is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration, with maximum concentration reached within 9 hours with sustained-release tablets. It is highly protein-bound, with a plasma elimination half-life of about 13 hours. The active metabolites of Butamirate Citrate also have antitussive action.
