Cloperastine is a centrally acting antitussive (cough suppressant) from the piperidine class. It was previously prescribed for the relief of non-productive coughs. Its use has declined or is banned in some countries due to potential for misuse and adverse effects, and it is not currently approved in many regions.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for a standard adult oral administration based on typical values for similar piperidine antitussives, due to lack of specific published PK data for cloperastine in the scientific literature.
