What is Anticatarrhal?
Anticatarrhal substances are those that help alleviate or prevent excess mucus or phlegm in the respiratory system. These substances can impart different actions such as mucolytic action, expectorant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, immunomodulatory effects, and antimicrobial action.
They help in thinning the stagnant mucus for its easy expulsion. They can stimulate the production of respiratory tract fluids, making the mucus less sticky and easier to cough up. They also reduce the inflammation associated with mucus and bacterial/viral infection, aiding in reducing mucus production.
