Summary Introduction

Antitussive is a drug that reduces or suppresses coughing. It inhibits or reduces the activity of neurons in the cough center located in the brain. It is mostly used to stop nonproductive coughs. Antitussive drugs are classified as opioid and nonopioid. Opioids are used to suppress the cough reflex in the medullar region of the brain and nonopioids will act on the stretch receptors and cause numbness in the respiratory tract, preventing the stimulation of the cough reflex.
