Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Eprazinone is a non‑opioid mucolytic and expectorant that reduces sputum viscosity by modifying the structure of mucopolysaccharides and enhancing surfactant production. It also exhibits mild anti‑inflammatory effects in the bronchial mucosa, improving ciliary clearance and facilitating productive cough without significantly depressing the cough reflex.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in airway‑mucus rheology studies, mucociliary‑transport modelling, non‑opioid antitussive research, and respiratory epithelium‑protection assays.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include mild gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, headache and rare hypersensitivity reactions. Handle with respiratory‑system‑active small‑molecule precautions.
