Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): volatile oil component
Any plant metabolite that is found naturally as a component of a volatile oil.
(via p-menthan-3-ol )
Application(s): antitussive
An agent that suppresses cough. Antitussives have a central or a peripheral action on the cough reflex, or a combination of both. Compare with expectorants, which are considered to increase the volume of secretions in the respiratory tract, so facilitating their removal by ciliary action and coughing, and mucolytics, which decrease the viscosity of mucus, facilitating its removal by ciliary action and expectoration.
antispasmodic drug
A drug that suppresses spasms. These are usually caused by smooth muscle contraction, especially in tubular organs. The effect is to prevent spasms of the stomach, intestine or urinary bladder.
antipruritic drug
A drug, usually applied topically, that relieves pruritus (itching).
