About Mucolytics.

Mucolytics are a therapeutic class of mucoactive drugs formulated to decrease the viscosity and elasticity of thick respiratory tract secretions.

They function primarily by enzymatically cleaving extracellular DNA polymers or chemically cleaving disulfide bonds within mucin glycoproteins, thereby liquefying mucus to facilitate mucociliary clearance and expectoration.

Clinically, these agents are utilized to manage hypersecretory airway diseases and mucus plugging associated with conditions such as cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and bronchiectasis.
