When to take ERDOMED 225 mg?

ERDOMED 225 mg is a mucolytic, i.e. a medicine that reduces the viscosity of mucus (thins mucus) and makes it easier to cough up.

It is used to treat acute upper and lower respiratory tract infections associated with increased mucus production, such as:

• rhinitis (rhinitis),
• sinusitis (sinusitis),
• inflammation of the larynx (laryngitis) and pharynx (pharyngitis),
• bronchitis (bronchitis).
• It is also used on the advice of a doctor to treat certain chronic respiratory diseases, e.g. frequently recurring bronchitis (chronic bronchitis), to worsen the symptoms of bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in smokers to prevent chronic bronchitis and to prevent frequently recurring infections (e.g. during the winter).
