Drug Overview
Bronchitol is an inhaled dry powder formulation of mannitol, a naturally occurring monosaccharide that also acts as a mucolytic agent.
Once inhaled, Bronchitol has an osmotic effect that increases the hydration of airway surface liquid.
This facilitates mucociliary clearance in cystic fibrosis patients that have typically sticky mucus, alleviating some of the respiratory symptoms associated with the disease.
