View approved original text

Expectoration difficulty is a common symptom in various respiratory diseases such as acute and chronic bronchitis, asthma, laryngitis, sinusitis, and cystic fibrosis. In these diseases, the secretion of mucus in the airways increases or the mucus cannot be easily expelled due to airway inflammation, leading to discomfort. This medication lowers the viscosity of mucus and facilitates its expulsion, thereby helping to make breathing easier. Therefore, it is effectively used in respiratory diseases with expectoration difficulties.
