Mecysteine hydrochloride
Mecysteine is known as a mucolytic agent, which means it breaks down mucus. It works by breaking some of the chemical bonds between the molecules in mucus. This makes brochial mucus less viscous (thick and sticky) and thus easier to cough up.Medicines that make mucus less thick and sticky are useful for people who suffer from chest problems such as bronchitis, asthma and cystic fibrosis as well as for those who have an artificial airway opening in their neck (tracheostomy).
