What does it do?

Pentoxyverine Citrate is a drug that suppresses coughing, primarily used for the treatment of dry coughs or non-productive coughs. This ingredient acts on the central nervous system to reduce the cough reflex.

Pentoxyverine Citrate acts on the cough center in the brain to block nerve signals that trigger coughing. This reduces the cough response, thereby decreasing unnecessary coughing.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike other antitussives, Pentoxyverine Citrate acts directly on the central nervous system but is less addictive compared to narcotic antitussives. Additionally, it does not inhibit mucus secretion, preventing dryness of the respiratory mucosa.
