Levodropropizine for treating cough in adult and children: a meta-analysis of…

Cough is one of the most common symptoms for which patients seek medical attention from primary care physicians and lung specialists. About 40% of the population at any one time report cough. Cough is associated with significantly impaired health-related quality of life. evodropropizine is an effective and very well tolerated peripheral antitussive drug. We want to compare it to central cough…

Levodropropizine-Induced Anaphylaxis: Case Series and Literature Review

Levodropropizine is commonly used as an antitussive drug for acute and chronic cough. It is a non-opioid agent with peripheral antitussive action via the modulation of sensory neuropeptide levels in the airways. Thus, levodropropizine has a more tolerable profile than opioid antitussives. However, we experienced 3 cases of levodropropizine-induced anaphylaxis. Three patients commonly presented …

Efficacy of levodropropizine in the pediatric setting: a meta-analysis of pub…

Cough in children is among the most common symptoms and may have a deep impact on children’s and parents’ sleep and quality of life, thus often requiring an empiric treatment with antitussive agents. Levodropropizine is a very well tolerated peripheral drug, while central cough suppressants (opioids and non opioids) may be associated with side effects that limit their use especially in chil…

Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Levodropropizine and Its Potential Therapeutic Ad…

: Levodropropizine is a non-narcotic, non-centrally acting antitussive that inhibits the cough reflex triggered by neuropeptides. Despite the active clinical application of levodropropizine, the exploration of its inter-individual pharmacokinetic diversity and of factors that can interpret it is lacking. The purpose of this study was to explore effective covariates associated with variation in …

Effectiveness and Safety of Codeine and Levodropropizine in Patients With Chr…

Recent progress in chronic cough management includes controlling cough triggers and hypersensitivity using antitussives. Therefore, we investigated the effects and safety outcomes of antitussives, codeine and levodropropizine, in patients with chronic cough

Antitussive Drugs—Past, Present, and Future

Cough remains a serious unmet clinical problem, both as a symptom of a range of other conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, gastroesophageal reflux, and as a problem in its own right in patients with chronic cough of unknown origin. This article reviews our current understanding of the pathogenesis of cough and the hypertussive state characterizing a number of disea…

Efficacy of levodropropizine in pediatric cough

Cough in children is among the most common problems managed by pediatricians, and occurs more frequently in preschool than in older children. Most acute episodes of cough are due to viral upper respiratory tract infections. The morbidity associated with acute cough in a child extends also to parents, teachers, and other family members and caregivers. Unfortunately, therapeutic options for acute…

Cough Suppressant and Pharmacologic Protussive Therapy: ACCP Evidence-Based …

Cough-suppressant therapy, previously termed nonspecific antitussive therapy, incorporates the use of pharmacologic agents with mucolytic effects and/or inhibitory effects on the cough reflex itself. The intent of this type of therapy is to reduce the frequency and/or intensity of coughing on a short-term basis.

Efficacy and Tolerability of Levodropropizine in Adult Patients with Non-prod…

The results of a double-blind, randomized clinical trial involving 209 adult patients of either sex with moderate non-productive cough are reported. The therapeutic efficacy and the tolerability of levodropropizine syrup (60 mg t.i.d. for 5 days) was evaluated in comparison with dextromethorphan syrup (15 mg t.i.d. for 5 days). Efficacy was assessed by the number of coughing spells in a 6 h per…
