    Pharmacokinetics

    Oral drops, syrup

    Suction. After oral administration, the drug is quickly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. After taking 150 mg of butamirate, the Cmax of the main metabolite (2-phenylbutyric acid) in the blood plasma is reached after approximately 1.5 hours and is 6.4 mcg/ml.

    Distribution and metabolism. Hydrolysis of butamirate, initially to 2-phenylbutyric acid and diethylaminoethoxyethanol, begins in the blood. These metabolites also have antitussive activity, and, like butamirate, are largely (about 95%) bound to plasma proteins, which determines their long half-life. 2-phenylbutyric acid is partially metabolized by hydroxylation.

    When taking the drug again, cumulation is not observed.

    Excretion. T1/2 is 6 hours. All three metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine. Moreover, 2-phenylbutyric acid is mainly excreted in the form associated with glucuronic acid.

    Modified-release film-coated tablets

    Absorption is high. After oral administration of a modified-release tablet, the plasma Cmax of the main metabolite (2-phenylbutyric acid) is observed after 9 hours and is 1.4 mcg/ml.

    Hydrolysis of butamirate, initially to 2-phenylbutyric acid and diethylaminoethoxyethanol, begins in the blood. These metabolites also have antitussive activity, and, like butamirate, are largely (about 95%) bound to plasma proteins, which determines their long half-life. 2-phenylbutyric acid is partially metabolized by hydroxylation. When taking the drug again, cumulation is not observed.

    T1/2 of butamirate - 13 hours. Metabolites are excreted mainly by the kidneys. Moreover, 2-phenylbutyric acid is mainly excreted in the form associated with glucuronic acid.
