Frequently asked questions

What is Noscapine HCl Sam used for?+
Noscapine HCl Sam contains noscapine hydrochloride, an alkaloid antitussive that is used to suppress non‑productive (dry) coughs. It provides symptomatic relief by acting on the central cough center, helping patients reduce cough frequency and severity.

Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, serious skin reactions (e.g., Stevens‑Johnson syndrome), hepatic dysfunction, hematologic abnormalities, and, in very uncommon cases, seizures. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
Who should not use Noscapine HCl Sam?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to noscapine or any component of the formulation should avoid use. Caution is advised for patients with significant liver disease, severe renal impairment, or those taking interacting CNS depressants, unless closely monitored by a healthcare professional.
