What does it do?

Procaterol hydrochloride monohydrate is classified as a beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. It is primarily used in the treatment of respiratory diseases for bronchodilation and cough relief. As an antitussive and expectorant, it facilitates the expulsion of mucus from the airways.

This ingredient acts on the beta-2 receptors in the bronchial muscles, causing relaxation of the muscles. As a result, the airways widen, making breathing easier, and reducing coughing and phlegm. It helps to regulate mucus secretion and aids in the expulsion of mucus from the airways.
