Stoptussin is a combined preparation with antitussive, mucolytic and expectorant effects. butamirate citrate refers to a non-opioid antitussive agent of peripheral action, exhibits a local enesthetic effect on nerve endings that transmit ascending signals from the respiratory tract. unlike opioid antitussives, it does not cause a central inhibitory effect, does not depress the respiratory center, does not cause addiction.

The antitussive effect of citrate butamirate is complemented by the expectorant effect of guaifenesin.

Guaifenesin reveals secretolytic (by directly enhancing the secretion of the bronchial glands and stimulating the elimination of acidic glycoproteins from acinar cells) and secretomotor properties (reduces the viscosity of sputum and facilitates the evacuation of mucus and its coughing).

As a result of metabolism, two metabolites are formed, which have an antitussive effect, and more than 90% of them are excreted by the kidneys; only a small part is excreted in the feces. Biological T½ is about 6 hours.

Guaifenesin after oral administration is rapidly and easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. A small part of it binds to plasma proteins. Excreted by the kidneys, mainly in the form of metabolites, infrequently - unchanged. Biological T1 / 2 - 1 h.
