How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient calms the urge to cough by paralyzing the cough center in the brain. To prevent mucus from building up in the respiratory tract, the substance is only suitable if the cough is completely dry. Anyone who overdoses on the substance runs the risk of provoking a blockage in the airways or finding it difficult to breathe.
