Levofree Teva (Levodropropizine)

Levodropropizine, the active ingredient in Levofree Teva, is an antitussive presented as an oral formulation for oral use. It suppresses dry and non‑productive coughs by acting on sensory nerves in the respiratory tract, providing symptomatic relief for patients with irritative cough. It is indicated for the symptomatic management of cough in adults and children over a certain age, where the cough is not productive.

GNH USA supplies Levofree Teva as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to stringent quality standards and provides reliable logistics for global distribution.

Levodropropizine is used as a peripheral antitussive to reduce cough reflex in the respiratory tract. - Dry cough: Reduces frequency and intensity of non‑productive cough. - Irritative cough: Provides symptomatic relief by dampening sensory nerve activation. - Cough associated with upper respiratory infections: Helps control cough without affecting mucus clearance.

Levodropropizine is generally well tolerated, but some patients may experience adverse reactions.
