It appears as yellow enteric-coated soft capsules and is indicated for patients with respiratory conditions such as acute or chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, pulmonary expansion, and lung abscess. Its primary effects include improving ciliary movement of the tracheal mucosa, promoting secretion from respiratory glands, increasing mucus transport speed, and thinning secretions in the nasal cavity. This helps clear nasal discharge and alleviate symptoms such as nasal congestion. For patients with mild conditions, treatment may last approximately 5 days, while those with more severe conditions typically require around 10 days of therapy. Specific usage should always follow medical guidance.
