Generic Name: Butamirate Citrate
Company: Kumudini Pharma Ltd.
MRP:৳ 80.0 (100ml)

Indications
Supreno is used to relieve dry (non-productive) cough, which may be caused by a recent viral infection. Supreno is also used to sedate cough before and after surgery or bronchoscopy. Supreno can be used for acute cough of any cause, whooping cough, and cough due to infections like tracheitis, laryngitis, or bronchitis.
Pharmacology
Supreno works by directly acting on the brain’s cough center to stop the cough. Supreno is safe and does not cause sedation, as Supreno is not chemically related to opium. Supreno is quickly absorbed after being taken orally, with its highest concentration reached within 9 hours. The sustained-release tablet has a half-life of around 13 hours. Its active metabolites also help in suppressing cough.

Supreno is generally well-tolerated. Some rare side effects include rash, nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness. These usually go away after reducing the dose or stopping the medication.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Supreno should not be used during the first trimester of pregnancy. During the rest of the pregnancy, Supreno can be used if prescribed by a doctor, but with caution. Supreno is recommended to carefully weigh the risks and benefits of using this medication while breastfeeding, as there is no information on its presence in breast milk.
Precautions & Warnings
Supreno suppresses the cough reflex, so Supreno should not be used with expectorants, as this can lead to mucus buildup in the airways, increasing the risk of bronchospasm and infections. If the cough lasts more than 7 days (or more than 3 days in children under 12), a doctor should be consulted.
Overdose Effects
Overdose can cause drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of balance, and low blood pressure. Standard emergency treatment includes activated charcoal, saline laxatives, and resuscitation if needed.
