This medicine helps to thin and loosen thick mucus in the chest and airways. This makes it easier to clear your lungs by coughing. Its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be discussed with a doctor.

Indications

Erdosteine is a mucolytic drug used in the treatment of acute and chronic respiratory diseases. It also improves the symptoms associated with short episodes of chronic bronchitis.

Pharmacology

Erdosteine is a prodrug that is metabolised into N-thiodiglycolyl-homocysteine whereby free thiol groups are formed leading to the opening of the disulphide bonds of the bronchial mucoproteins, thus reducing the viscosity of mucus and purulent sputum. It also antagonises the local formation of free radicals and inhibits elastase enzyme activity and bacterial adhesion to epithelial cells.
