Abstract
Cough is one of the most common symptoms for which patients visit the doctor. Because of its broad differential diagnosis,cough is a challenging condition to manage. Antitussives or cough suppressants are indicated if cough interferes with dailyactivities. Cough suppressants not only provide symptomatic relief by decreasing cough, they also prevent the spread ofinfection. Noscapine is a non-narcotic cough suppressant, which relieves cough by acting at the level of the cough centerin the brain. It does not cause significant sedative, euphoric, or hypnotic effects, and other side effects such as respiratorysuppression and constipation that are typically associated with opioids. Hence, unlike other opioid antitussives such ascodeine, noscapine is nonaddictive.
