Overview

Prethcamide is a respiratory stimulant composed of two related drugs, cropropamide and crotethamide, in equal parts. It acts as a central and peripheral respiratory stimulant by stimulating peripheral chemoreceptors and central respiratory centers. The drug has pressor effects and may increase catecholamine release. Prethcamide is used primarily to treat respiratory depression or insufficiency. Its action is described as mild, somewhat inconstant, slow in onset but prolonged in duration, with potential for unpleasant side effects. It was developed by Ciba-Geigy.
