Pharmacological properties of the drug Panatus forte
butamirate citrate is a medicinal substance with a central mechanism of action for the symptomatic treatment of cough. Prevents the appearance of a dry and irritating cough, reduces tension in the bronchial muscles and, at the same time, stimulates expectoration, facilitates breathing and eliminates chest pain. This has a positive effect on respiratory function and the concentration of gases in the blood. In terms of its chemical structure and pharmacological activity, butamirate differs from opiate antitussives and does not cause addiction. After oral administration, it is quickly absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract. After 2 hours, butamirate is no longer detectable in blood plasma. The maximum concentration in the blood serum is achieved 30–60 minutes after administration. Butamirate disintegrates quickly. The main metabolites (2-phenylbutyric acid and p-hydroxy-2-phenylbutyric acid) also have an antitussive effect. The binding of butamirate citrate and its metabolites to plasma proteins is 92%, which provides a long-lasting antitussive effect. Half-life in blood plasma is 21.6 hours. Volume of distribution is 11.5 liters. More than 90% of metabolites are excreted by the kidneys, and the remainder by the lungs and feces. The half-life from the body is 12.4 hours, clearance is 11 ml/min (0.183 ml/s).

MINISTRY OF HEALTH OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, INSTRUCTIONS for the use of the medicinal product for medical use Panatus forte Panatus, forte, Registration number: Trade name: Panatus forte International non-proprietary or generic name: butamirate Dosage form: syrup, Composition per 5 ml of syrup Active ingredient: Butamirate citrate 7 50 mg Excipients: citric acid, monohydrate 12.50 mg, sorbitol, liquid 1750.00 mg, glycerol 1250.00 mg, sodium saccharin 6.25 mg, sodium benzoate 5.00 mg, lemon flavor 10.00 mg, sodium hydroxide 2.50 mg, purified water to 5.00 ml, Description Transparent, liquid, colorless to light yellow, color, with a characteristic lemon odor. , Pharmacotherapeutic group: centrally acting antitussive ATC code: R05DB13 , Pharmacological properties Pharmacodynamics Butamirate, the active substance of the drug Panatus forte, is a centrally acting antitussive, not related to opium alkaloids either chemically or pharmacologically. Suppresses cough, having a direct effect on the cough center. It has a bronchodilator effect. Promotes easier breathing, improving spirometry (reduces airway resistance), and blood oxygenation. Pharmacokinetics Butamirate is quickly and completely absorbed when taken orally. After taking 150 mg of butamirate, the maximum plasma concentration of the main metabolite (2-phenylbutyric acid) is reached after about 1.5 hours and is 6.4 μg/ml. With repeated use of butamirate, its concentration in plasma and blood remains linear and no accumulation is observed. Hydrolysis of butamirate, initially, to 2-phenylbutyric acid and diethylaminoethoxyethanol, begins in the blood. These metabolites also have antitussive activity. Butamirate and its metabolites have an almost maximum (about 95%) degree of binding to plasma and blood proteins, which determines their long half-life (T 1/ 2), and long-term antitussive action. Metabolites are excreted primarily by the kidneys, with acidic metabolites largely associated with glucuronic acid. T 1/2 is 6 hours. , Indications for use Dry , cough , of any , etiology , including , with , whooping cough , for , suppression , of cough , in the preoperative and postoperative period , during surgical interventions and bronchoscopy .
