This medication is used when it is difficult to expectorate sputum in conditions such as acute and chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, laryngitis, sinusitis, and cystic fibrosis. It helps to soften the phlegm caused by respiratory diseases, making it easier to expel through coughing. This alleviates obstruction in the respiratory tract and improves comfortable breathing.
