Additional Information for the Patient

Some colds and flu can be accompanied by an accumulation of mucus in the respiratory tract. Sometimes, this mucus becomes thick and adheres to the walls of these airways.

This explains that in these processes, coughing occurs as a defense mechanism of the body itself against the appearance of mucus, to expel phlegm and clear the airways.

Carbocisteine fluidifies the adhered mucus, detaching it. At the end of the cold or flu process, there is a decrease in mucus and, therefore, in the necessary cough to eliminate it.
