These medicines contain carbocisteine, a medicine that causes phlegm to be less thick and sticky and thus easier to cough up and expel. Carbocisteine, in an in vitro study (outside the living organism), was shown to have significantly reduced the ability of bacteria to adhere to human pharyngeal cells.
Carbocisteine is a mucolytic agent used to relieve cough characterized by excessive or sticky sputum or phlegm to help treat respiratory tract disorders such as acute bronchitis. Carbocisteine also reduces the number of exacerbations associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and inhibits the adherence of bacteria and virus to human respiratory cells. Carbocisteine is also used in the treatment of otitis media with effusion (glue ear).
