Improves sputum expectoration in acute and chronic respiratory diseases
This medication helps to dissolve mucus and expel phlegm in acute and chronic respiratory diseases. It thins out the sticky mucus accumulated in the respiratory tract, facilitating its expulsion during coughs. This aids in easier breathing and alleviates symptoms. Patients are advised to take this medication regularly, as it will be more effective in improving symptoms. Therefore, it is used for mucolysis and expectoration in acute and chronic respiratory diseases.
Adults: Administer 300 mg of erdosteine orally 2~3 times daily. When used for acute respiratory disease, do not administer continuously for more than 10 days.
