View approved original text

When sputum discharge is difficult, respiratory diseases such as acute or chronic bronchitis, asthma, laryngitis, sinusitis, and cystic fibrosis may be the causes. This medication helps to thin the mucus produced in these conditions and facilitates sputum discharge, easing breathing. It is particularly effective in improving dyspnea in patients with bronchial asthma or chronic bronchitis. Additionally, it may help reduce inflammation caused by sinusitis and laryngitis. In cystic fibrosis patients, it contributes to maintaining lung function by decreasing thick mucus. For these reasons, this medication is used to improve symptoms of sputum discharge difficulties in various respiratory diseases.
