Product Overview

Asverin Tablets 20mg is a higher-strength version of this Japanese cough suppressant, containing double the active ingredient per tablet (tipepidine hibenzate) compared to the 10mg strength. Like the 10mg version, Asverin 20mg is a centrally acting, non-opioid antitussive that provides effective cough relief without narcotics. It suppresses the cough center in the medulla and also helps loosen mucus by enhancing bronchial secretions and ciliary action. Each Asverin 20mg tablet delivers 20 mg of tipepidine (as 22.14 mg tipepidine hibenzate). The higher dose per tablet means fewer pills are needed for the same effect, offering greater convenience. Asverin 20mg was introduced in Japan in 1972 and has since been widely used in Japan, manufactured by Nipro Corporation to high quality standards.

Dosage Guidelines

Use Asverin 20mg only as directed by your healthcare provider. For adults, the usual dosage is 60–120 mg per day of tipepidine, divided into three doses. With Asverin 20mg, this typically equates to 1–2 tablets, taken three times daily (total of 3–6 tablets in a day). Do not exceed the prescribed amount. Swallow tablets with water without chewing. This higher strength is generally not used in young children; pediatric dosing usually employs the 10mg tablets or syrup forms under a doctor’s advice. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.

Possible Side Effects

• Common (mild): As with the 10mg strength, drowsiness or mild dizziness can occur. Rarely, slight restlessness or insomnia has been noted.
• Digestive issues: A few users report reduced appetite or mild stomach upset (nausea, constipation or diarrhea). These digestive side effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own.
• Allergic reactions: Rarely, a skin rash or itching may occur. Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) are extremely rare.

Overall, side effects are very infrequent – only about 4% of patients experienced side effects, and those were mostly mild. If you have any persistent or serious side effects, inform your doctor.

FAQ

• Q: What if I miss a dose?
  A: Take it as soon as you remember, unless your next dose is due soon. If the next scheduled dose is almost due, skip the missed dose and continue as normal. Never take two doses at once.
• Q: How should I store this medication?
  A: Store at room temperature, away from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
• Q: Is it safe to take Asverin 20mg long-term?
  A: Yes. Asverin is non-narcotic and not habit-forming, so it can be used long-term under medical guidance. It does not cause dependence or withdrawal. However, if your cough lasts many weeks, see a doctor to find the underlying cause.
• Q: Can I take it on an empty stomach?
  A: Yes. You can take it on an empty stomach. If it upsets your stomach, take it after food next time. Always swallow the tablet with water.
• Q: Can I take it with other medications?
  A: No significant drug interactions are known. It is generally safe to use with other medications, but inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking. Avoid combining multiple cough or cold remedies. Also, be cautious using Asverin with sedatives or alcohol, as drowsiness could increase.
