Mucotrol
Mucotrol (carbocisteine) is a mucolytic agent used to help manage conditions associated with excessive mucus production, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis. It works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear from the respiratory tract.
