It is not approved in the United States by the FDA, but remains available and used in many countries for OTC or prescription use.
Pharmacokinetic parameters are generally not reported in clinical studies or literature. Parameters below are estimated based on pharmacokinetic class similarity to other central antitussive agents and indirect data from drug literature on healthy adults.
