Cough drug combo under microscope: will they mix safely?
NCT ID NCT07017335
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed Phase 1 trial looked at how two drugs—levocloperastine (a cough suppressant) and Pelargonium sidoides extract (a herbal remedy often used for colds)—affect each other when taken together. Twenty-four healthy adults took each drug alone and then together, and researchers measured drug levels in their blood. The goal was to see if combining them changes how the body processes either drug, which is important for future combination treatments.
