Antitussives and Expectorants Overview by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Cough can be caused by tracheobronchial secretions or respiratory conditions, and antitussives and expectorants are used to treat it. Antitussives work by inhibiting the cough reflex, but their improper use can lead to the stagnation of secretions, while expectorants help to liquefy and eliminate them. The combination of these medications should be done with caution, as combinations can be irrational and ineffective.
