Carbocisteine (Cat No.:R053055) is an expectorant medication used to help clear mucus from the respiratory tract in conditions like chronic bronchitis and COPD. It belongs to the class of mucolytic agents, which reduce the viscosity of mucus, making it easier to expel. By disrupting disulfide bonds in mucus, carbocisteine promotes mucus clearance. It also possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
