FDA Label


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Normethadone is an opioid which suppresses coughing by central and peripheral mechanisms.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Analgesics, Opioid

Compounds with activity like OPIATE ALKALOIDS, acting at OPIOID RECEPTORS. Properties include induction of ANALGESIA or NARCOSIS. (See all compounds classified as Analgesics, Opioid.)


Antitussive Agents

Agents that suppress cough. They act centrally on the medullary cough center. EXPECTORANTS, also used in the treatment of cough, act locally. (See all compounds classified as Antitussive Agents.)


5.3 ATC Code

R - Respiratory system

R05 - Cough and cold preparations

R05D - Cough suppressants, excl. combinations with expectorants

R05DA - Opium alkaloids and derivatives

R05DA06 - Normethadone


5.4 Mechanism of Action

Normethadone activates central opioid receptors in the medulla to supress the cough reflex. It also likely activates peripheral opioid receptors to inhibit signalling by irritant receptors of the airway.
