About Xputum Drops
Xputum Drops belongs to a class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat Cough. It also treats 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 the 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.
