How does the active ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient loosens stuck mucus in the airways. The thick mucus becomes thinner and the adhesion to the mucous membranes of the bronchial tubes is reduced. This reduces mucus build-up and makes it easier to cough up.
When applied locally, the active ingredient can anaesthetise mucous membranes on the surface and thus alleviate a sore throat for a short time, for example.

Application

- Respiratory diseases with thick mucus, such as a phlegmy cough
