LIBEXIN tablets ANTITUSSIVE COMPOSITION 3-(f3,/S-Diphenylethyl)-5-(/3-piperidinoethyl)1,2,4-oxadiazole hydrochloride 100 mg per tablet ACTIONS Libexin is an antitussive with peripheral point of attack (endoanesthetic) and as such it markedly represses cough stimulus without abolishing it completely. It has no depressive effect on the respiratory centre, it does not diminish the respiratory volume which rather becomes raised.
