What it is and what it is used for
SOPULMIN contains the active ingredient sobrerol, which belongs to a group of medicines called mucolytics, which reduce the viscosity of mucus, liquefying it and facilitating its elimination. SOPULMIN is indicated for facilitating the removal of excess mucus and phlegm in acute and chronic respiratory tract affections.
Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 3 days.
