Levodropropizine is a medication used to treat non-productive (dry) cough. It works by inhibiting the cough reflex at both central and peripheral levels without affecting respiratory activity.
The medication is taken orally, usually in syrup form, and the dosage is adjusted based on the patient's age and weight. It is recommended for short-term use until symptoms improve.
Side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, more severe adverse effects such as breathing difficulties may occur.
Patients should avoid alcohol consumption and inform their doctor about any other medications they are taking. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a specialist before use.
