View approved original text

Patients may experience difficulty in discharging sputum, which commonly occurs in respiratory diseases such as acute or chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, laryngitis, sinusitis, and cystic fibrosis. These conditions lead to discomfort due to inflammation or increased mucus secretion around the bronchi and lungs, making it hard to discharge sputum. Thus, this medication is used to assist in the discharge of sputum and improve symptoms by facilitating breathing.
