The drug TUSSIPAX contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Codeine
UNII Q830PW7520 - CODEINE
|
|
Codeine is a centrally acting weak analgesic. Codeine exerts its effect through ฮผ opioid receptors, although codeine has low affinity for these receptors, and its analgesic effect is due to its conversion to morphine. Codeine, particularly in combination with other analgesics such as paracetamol, has been shown to be effective in acute nociceptive pain. The anti-tussive activity of codeine is probably due to its depressant effect on the medullary cough centre in the brain. |

2
Ethylmorphine

|
|
Ethylmorphine (ethylmorphine) is a derivative of morphine with analgesic and antitussive effect. It acts by activating the opioid receptors and thus has a direct influence on the CNS system. |
