DextromethorphanAn NMDA receptor antagonist used to treat cases of dry cough.
HydrocodoneAn opioid agonist used as an analgesic and antitussive agent.
ButorphanolAn opioid agonist-antagonist used to treat moderate to severe pain.
BenzonatateA non-narcotic oral antitussive drug used to suppress coughing.
OxeladinWithdrawn from the Canadian, US, and UK markets in 1976 due to carcinogenicity.
NoscapineA non-sedating isoquinoline alkaloid used primarily for its antitussive properties.
PipazethateFor the treatment of cough.
IsoaminileIsoaminile, an antitussive drug with a structure similar to methadone, is also an anticholinergic with both antimuscarinic and antinicotinic properties.
FominobenFominoben is an antitussive agent.
ClobutinolClobutinol is a cough suppressant that is withdrawn from the US and EU markets. Clobutinol may prolong the QT interval. In 2007, Clobutinol was determined to cause cardiac arrhythmia in...
PholcodineAn opioid antitussive used to suppress unproductive coughing.
DoxofyllineA methylxanthine derivative used in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and bronchospasms.
OpiumA medication used to treat moderate to severe pain.
PentoxyverineA medication used to suppress a cough in the common cold, flu, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
NormethadoneAn opioid antitussive used to treat a cough associated with inflamed mucosa.
LevodropropizineA peripherally-acting antitussive agent.
OxolamineA medication indicated in the treatment of a cough or upper respiratory tract inflammation.
ZipeprolNot Annotated
DropropizineA peripherally acting cough suppressant.
DimemorfanNot Annotated
ClofedanolAn antitussive used for the symptomatic relief of acute cough caused by minor throat and bronchial irritation.
LevopropoxypheneLevopropoxyphene was used as an antitussive. An antitussive is a medication often recommended for the treatment of cough and associated respiratory tract disorders. Its enantiomer, dextropropoxyphene, presents an analgesic effect.
CloperastineCloperastine is a cough suppressant that acts on the central nervous system.
OxilofrineAn amphetamine used to treat a cough associated with inflamed mucosa.
MethadoneAn opioid analgesic indicated for management of severe pain that is not responsive to alternative treatments. Also used to aid in detoxification and maintenance treatment of opioid addiction.
EthylmorphineAn opioid analgesic and antitussive agent used to reduce coughs caused by colds and lung infections in combination with codeine.
EucalyptolA common ingredient in mouthwash and cosmetics derived naturally from the eucalyptus plant that is frequently used to to improve symptoms of airway mucus hypersecretion.
