Drugs for obstructive airway diseases

• Sodium benzoate is an expectorant, which helps to eliminate mucus in the airways.
• White crystalline or flaky powder. Easily soluble in cold and hot water and partially soluble in methanol.
• It works by signaling the body to increase the amount or hydration of secretions, resulting in more yet clearer secretions and as a byproduct lubricating the irritated respiratory tract.
