Levodropropizine – a non-codeine antitussive with minimal side effects, contraindications, and drug interactions
For symptomatic treatment of dry, irritating, and exhausting cough, both codeine and non-codeine antitussives can be used. One of the non-codeine antitussives is levodropropizine. Its antitussive effect is comparable to centrally acting codeine antitussives, but with a significantly lower incidence of side effects. Compared to codeine, it has a much narrower range of contraindications, and no interactions with benzodiazepines or drugs used in the treatment of bronchopulmonary diseases have been observed.
