Treatment aimed at reducing airway secretions to improve lung function.

Mucus protects, lubricates, and waterproofs airways, preventing infections.

Drugs aimed at thinning mucus; better referred to as mucoactive agents.

A respiratory disease characterized by excessive mucus production and poor airway clearance.

A genetic disorder causing severe lung damage and mucus buildup, requiring mucoactive therapy.

A mucoactive agent specifically used for treating cystic fibrosis via nebulization.

A mucoactive therapy used to improve airway clearance through increased moisture.

Conditions like chronic bronchitis and asthma where mucus clearance is impaired.
