Drugs in Cystic Fibrosis - Osmotic Agents Inhaled
BRONCHITOL (mannitol)
Inhaled osmotic agents for cystic fibrosis represent a therapeutic drug class formulated to improve mucociliary clearance in the respiratory tract.
These agents, primarily including inhaled dry-powder mannitol and nebulized hypertonic saline, function by generating an osmotic gradient across the bronchial epithelium that draws water into the airway lumen.
This influx hydrates the airway surface liquid and reduces the viscoelasticity of abnormally thick secretions, thereby facilitating sputum expectoration, improving pulmonary function, and decreasing pulmonary exacerbations.
Accordingly, this class is utilized as maintenance therapy to manage chronic suppurative airway disease in patients with cystic fibrosis.
