Mode of Action of Conos 25 MG
How Does It Work?
The active ingredient of Conos 25 mg Tablet is noscapine. Noscapine works on the brain by action on particular receptors called sigma receptors. Studies in animal subjects have shown that by activating this receptor, it produces cough-suppressing (antitussive) effects.
Noscapine is a naturally occurring compound in poppy plants and is similar to opium and other opioid compounds. However, it lacks the significant effects of other opioid compounds that cause habit-forming behaviour (hypnotic, pain-relieving, euphoria-inducing effects)....
