Frequently asked questions

What is Nosca-Méréprine used for?+
Nosca-Méréprine contains noscapine hydrochloride monohydrate and is used as an over‑the‑counter antitussive to relieve non‑productive or dry coughs associated with upper respiratory infections in both adults and children.
How does noscapine hydrochloride work?+
Noscapine hydrochloride acts on the central nervous system, likely by antagonizing sigma‑1 receptors and modulating cough‑related neurotransmission in the brainstem, which reduces the cough reflex without the opioid‑related side effects.
What is the usual dose of Nosca-Méréprine?+
The appropriate dose of Nosca-Méréprine is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, and severity of cough. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.
Is Nosca-Méréprine safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for noscapine hydrochloride in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by a qualified healthcare provider.
