Pulmosal is used to help clear thick mucus from the airways in conditions such as cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, COPD, and other respiratory disorders where excessive or viscous secretions make breathing difficult. It may also be used to humidify airways during respiratory therapy.
Pulmosal contains sodium chloride (salt) in an isotonic solution. When inhaled through a nebulizer, the saline mist helps to hydrate and loosen thick, sticky mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear. This can improve airway clearance and make breathing more comfortable.
Pulmosal is for inhalation use only with a compatible nebulizer device. It should be used as directed by a healthcare provider. Patients with certain heart conditions, kidney problems, or electrolyte imbalances should inform their doctor before use. Side effects are rare but may include mild throat irritation or bronchospasm in sensitive individuals.
