It is important to treat respiratory diseases when sputum expulsion is difficult. Diseases such as acute and chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, laryngitis, sinusitis, and cystic fibrosis can cause sputum to become thick and difficult to expel. In such conditions, a medication that can thin the sputum and facilitate its expulsion is needed. This can help maintain the respiratory passages clear and make breathing easier. Therefore, this medication is used for acute and chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, laryngitis, sinusitis, and cystic fibrosis when sputum expulsion is difficult.
