Butinoline
Butinoline
Butinoline (pronunciation: /byoo-ti-noh-leen/) is a type of antitussive drug, primarily used to suppress or relieve coughing.
Etymology
The term "Butinoline" is derived from its chemical structure, which includes a butyl group (from the Greek butyros, meaning "butter") and an amine group (from the Arabic al-nili, meaning "indigo plant"). The "-oline" suffix is commonly used in the names of various chemical substances, particularly alkaloids and pharmaceuticals.
Usage
Butinoline is typically used in the treatment of dry cough and other cough-related conditions. It works by reducing the urge to cough, thus providing relief from persistent or unproductive coughing. It is often combined with other medications, such as expectorants, to enhance its effectiveness.
