Like codeine and other antitussives, it relieves the symptom, but does not heal the illness.〔 No controlled clinical trials regarding the efficiency of pentoyxverine are available.〔 Pharmacologists use the substance as a selective agonist at the sigma-1 receptor in animal〔 〕 and in vitro experiments.〔 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Carbetapentane Citrate CAS#: 23142-01-0 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「pentoxyverine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
