1 Levodropropizine (LVDP) is an effective antitussive drug. Its effects on single‐unit discharge of vagal afferent C‐fibres were tested in anaesthetized cats to assess whether an inhibition of vagal C‐fibres is involved in its antitussive properties. Vagal C‐fibres, identified by their response to phenylbiguanide (PBG), were recorded via suction electrodes from the distal part of the cut vagus. Based on their response to lung inflation, C‐fibres were classified as pulmonary (19 fibres) or non…

These data indicate that both levodropropizine and Clobutinol have antitussive efficacy and are free of bronchopulmonary adverse effects in elderly patients, although a central effect such as somnolence was experienced with a certain frequency, especially with ClobUTinol.

A Case of Levodropropizine-induced Anaphylaxis
- Medicine, Biology
- 2011
Levodropropizine should be considered as a cause of anaphylaxis in patients with drug-induced anaplylaxis, because it is known to be safe and is commonly used as an antitussive drug.
Characteristics, Properties and Analytical Methods for Determination of Dropropizine and Levodropropizine: A Review
- BiologyCritical reviews in analytical chemistry
- 2019
Data from this review evidenced a still limited number of studies dealing with analytical methods for its determination in different matrices, which may be of concern since the applicability of these methods is important for quality assurance, efficacy and safety of the medicine.

It is concluded that the pulmonary C‐fibre reflex powerfully inhibits airway defensive reflexes, and that its activation is unlikely to contribute positively to coughing induced by aerosols of capsaicin and similar agents.

The data suggest that the effects of TxA2 and of its mimetic U-46619 on respiration are mediated by the stimulation of vagal afferent fibers, whereas pulmonary hypertension is unrelated to vagal activity.
