A cough
medicine (or linctus,
when in syrup form) is a medicinal drug used
in an attempt to treat coughing and
related conditions.
-
For dry coughs, treatment with cough suppressants (antitussives) may
be attempted to suppress the body's urge to cough, while in
productive coughs (coughs that produce
phlegm),
treatment is attempted with
expectorants (typically
guaifenesin,
in most commercial medications) in an attempt to loosen mucus from
the respiratory
tract.
-
There however is no good evidence for or against the use of these
medications in those with a cough. Even
though they are used by 10% of American children weekly, they are
not recommended in children 6 years of age or younger due to lack of
evidence showing effect, and concerns of harm.
-
Dextromethorphan (DXM)
may be modestly effective in decreasing cough in adults with viral
upper respiratory infections. In children however it has not been
found to be effective.
-
Codeine was once viewed
as the gold standard in cough suppressants. Some recent placebo-controlled
trials have found however that it may be no better than placebo for
some etiologies including acute cough in children. It
is thus not recommended for children.
-
Other commercially available cough treatments have not been shown to
be effective in viral upper respiratory infections, including in
adults: antihistamines, antihistamine-decongestant combinations,
Benzonatate, and guaifenesin;
and in children: antihistamines,
decongestants or
combinations of these.
-
The efficacy of cough medication is questionable, particularly in
children.
A 2008 Cochrane review concluded that "There is no good evidence for
or against the effectiveness of OTC medicines in acute cough".
-
According to the New York
Times, at least eight mass poisonings have occurred as a result of
counterfeit cough syrup, substituting inexpensive diethylene
glycol in place of glycerin.
