Eldorant Capsule (Erdosteine)

Key information summary

Efficacy & effects

This medication helps to thin mucus in acute and chronic respiratory diseases, facilitating the expulsion of phlegm during coughing. This supports the respiratory system to function more smoothly. By lowering the viscosity of mucus in the respiratory tract, it effectively removes foreign substances from the airways and makes breathing easier. This action alleviates the respiratory symptoms in patients and provides a comfortable breathing environment. Therefore, it is used for mucolysis and expectoration in acute and chronic respiratory diseases.

Dosage and Administration

Administer 300 mg of erdosteine orally 2 to 3 times a day. Do not administer continuously for more than 10 days when used for acute respiratory diseases.

Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with known allergic reactions to this drug or its components. Patients with liver cirrhosis or cystathionine synthesis enzyme deficiency should not be administered this drug, as its metabolites may affect methionine metabolism. Patients with peptic ulcers should also avoid this medication. This drug should not be administered to patients with severe renal impairment, particularly those with a creatinine clearance of less than 25 mL/min. Additionally, patients with severe liver dysfunction should preferably avoid this medication. Patients with mild to moderate liver dysfunction should use this drug with caution and be careful not to exceed a daily dose of 300 mg. In case of overdose, symptoms such as excessive sweating, dizziness, and facial flushing may occur, so caution is needed. Neurological and respiratory adverse reactions such as headaches, cold symptoms, and breathing difficulties may arise.

Other reported symptoms include fatigue, indigestion, palpitations, facial or generalized swelling, itching, lethargy, confusion, and rash. Caution is particularly required when taken with cough medications as it may hinder phlegm expulsion, increasing the risk of bronchial infection.
