Market Insights

As per the latest research cited in the European Respiratory Journal 2016 report, the global prevalence rate of cough was 9.6%. The largest prevalence was in the Oceania region, with 18.1%, followed by Europe, America, Asia, and Africa, with 12.7%, 11.0%, 4.4%, and 2.3%, respectively. Coughing is a reflex action produced by the human body’s defense mechanism system to clear the upper airways. Rapid industrialization and urbanization are resulting in tremendous air pollution. The primary causes of cough are particulate matter (PM) of sizes 2 and 10 microns produced by automobile emissions, incomplete combustion, dust, and cooking. Chronic cough that lasts more than eight weeks accounts for 10% of the community’s prevalence. Smokers have a high prevalence in comparison to non-smokers, and women have a more sensitive cough reflex as compared to men. The diseases causing chronic cough are eosinophilic bronchitis, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease, rhinosinusitis, and chronic pulmonary obstructive disease. In the last decade, there has been a rampant increase in the number of patients suffering from chronic cough, which is attributed to factors such as cigarette smoking, air pollution, and chronic pulmonary obstructive disease.

Currently, the drugs employed as antitussive agents to suppress cough are of narcotic and non-narcotic origin. The mechanism of action involved in cough suppression using narcotic drugs such as dextromethorphan and codeine is the depression of cough centers situated in the medulla by stimulating the sigma receptors. The mechanism of action involved in using a non-narcotic drug such as benzonatate provides an anesthetic effect to the stretch receptors situated in the lungs, respiratory passage, and pleura, thereby dampening their activity and suppressing the cough reflex.

The promising drug in the pipeline, Transpulmin (Ache Laboratorios Farmaceuticos S.A.), is having promising results in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of cough in children because of its expectorant, fluidity, and antiseptic activity. Transpulmin is set to register significant growth in the near future as it is made from natural sources with negligible side effects in comparison to narcotic and non-narcotic antitussive agents.
