It has an antitussive, expectorant, moderate bronchodilating and anti-inflammatory effect, improves spirometry indices (decreases the resistance of the respiratory tract) and oxygenation of the blood.

Pharmacokinetics

Drops for oral administration, syrup

Suction. After oral administration, the drug is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. After taking 150 mg butamirata C_max The main metabolite (2-phenylbutyric acid) in blood plasma is reached in about 1.5 hours and is 6.4 mcg / ml.

These metabolites also have antitussive activity, and, like butamirata, are largely (about 95%) bound to plasma proteins, which makes them lasting T_1/2. 2-phenylbutyric acid is partially metabolized by hydroxylation.

When re-taking the drug cumulation is not observed.
