Lupituss Cpm Suspension 100ml
Levocloperastine fendizoate suspension for oral usage
Levocloperastine fendizoate is a state-of-the-art, non-opioid antitussive used largely to suppress a dry, unproductive cough. In contrast to regular cough syrup mixtures that come with the distressing sedating effects, Levocloperastine has a two-fold action mechanism—it not only behaves as a cough receptor periphery but also hits the cough center in the brain.
Benefits:
Cough Suppression Targeted: Targets the medullary cough center directly to suppress continuous hacking.
Two sites of action: Central depression and peripheral limpness to the throat and lungs.
Non-narcotic: Comparable relief as codeine, without the risk of addiction or causing respiratory trouble.
Increases nights sleep: By reducing the number of nighttime coughing episodes it enables these patients (especially children) to obtain some valuable rest.
Rapid Onset: With the ability to have an effect on the body in just as few as 15 to 30 minutes after ingestion.

Warnings & Safety Measures
Type of Cough: Always recollect that this medicine is to be used for dry cough and not for “wet” cough, where you would expect mucous production, since you are inadvertently inducing an anti-superficial reflex which would probably lead to mucus congestion in the lungs.
Medical Conditions: If you have a record of high blood pressure, heart diseases, diabetes, or thyroid disorders, tell your physician.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult your health professional before use. Although testing data of these groups is scarce.
Driving: It may cause mild dizziness for some but somewhat less sedating than conventional syrups. Therefore, drive only when completely alert.
Possible Side Effects
Most side effects of Levocloperastine Fendizoate are well-tolerated, although some people might have:
- Slight nausea or abdominal distress
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Dry mouth
- Occasional fatigue
Note: Most of these side effects normally resolve over time as your body is adjusting. If any severe allergic reaction occurs (rash or swelling), please rush to receive medical attention.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How is Levocloperastine Different from Regular Cough Syrups?
A: Most older cough syrups use sedatives or opioids (like codeine) that can potentially sedate you. Levocloperastine Fendizoate acts as a non-opioid, which is highly selective and influences only the cough reflex and not the excessive drowsiness of the “foggy” type.
Q: Can you use the medicine for smoker’s cough?
A: Yes, it is commonly prescribed for chronic irritable coughs, caused by cigarette smoke, emphysema, or pollution from environmental sources.
Q: What do I do if I miss a dose?
A: If you happen to forget to take a scheduled dose, do so whenever you finally recall taking it but if subsequent doses are almost around the corner, then skip that dose and return to the usual dosing system. Do not “double up” by taking two missed doses.
Q: Is it safe for children?
A: The drug is generally safe for children older than 2 years given appropriate dosing according to the child’s weight by a physician.
Q: How long should I continue the treatment?
A: The drug is quite helpful during short, time-limited situations (3 to 7 days). If after one week, if coughing persists with elevated fever, you must consult with your doctor to rule out an infection.
