About Inhalex Respules 2ml

Inhalex 15mg Respules 2ml belongs to a class of drugs called ‘mucolytic agents’ (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat acute (short term) and chronic (long term) respiratory diseases associated with excess mucus. Acute respiratory diseases are initially associated with dry, irritating cough, hoarseness in laryngitis (swelling of the voice box) or burning sensation in chest due to bronchitis (swelling of the lining of bronchial tubes). Then, wet mucus forms and continuous coughing out of sputum occurs. In chronic respiratory diseases, both dry irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.

However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained.
