Ethylmorphine, the primary active ingredient in Cosylan, was first marketed in France in 1953 [1.2.8]. So, what is Cosylan? It's a prescription-only opioid-based medication primarily used to treat persistent, dry coughs by suppressing the cough reflex in the brain [1.5.1, 1.5.2].

Its active ingredients are opioid derivatives, which act as central nervous system (CNS) depressants to suppress the cough reflex. This makes it effective for persistent, irritating coughs, but it also carries significant risks and is not available in many other regions, including the U.S.
