Fominoben is an antitussive agent of the benzanilide class, formerly marketed under the name Noleptan.[2] It binds poorly to the sigma-1 receptor, a receptor activated by many other antitussives.[3] It is reported to have respiratory stimulant activity.[4] Other research has indicated it may be an agonist at the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor.[5] It was introduced in Germany in 1973, in Italy in 1979, and in Japan in 1983.[6]

Adverse effects include appetite suppression, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, irritability, and hallucinations. Rarer side effects include somnolence, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and urticaria.[7]
