Levomenthol has a moderate spasmolytic effect, facilitates the patient's condition with symptoms of acute rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis and bronchitis.

Composition

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide + Terpinhydrate + Levomentol + auxiliary substances.

Pharmacokinetics

Dextromethorphan is completely absorbed from the digestive tract. Terpin hydrate is also rapidly absorbed from the digestive tract. Dextromethorphan is biotransformed in the liver with the formation of pharmacologically active metabolites. Terpinhydrate is partially biotransformed in the body by oxidation. Up to 45% of dextromethorphan is excreted in the urine.The rates of excretion of various metabolites vary in different patients. Terpinhydrate is excreted unchanged through the respiratory tract, with urine and sweat. Metabolites are excreted in the urine in the form of phenols in conjunction with glucuronic acid.
