Sputolysin® Poeder 420g is a secretolytic for use in respiratory disease in horses. Efficacy has been demonstrated in lung function tests. Clinical use and pharmacological studies in laboratory animals established the following mechanisms of action: 1) pronounced expectorant effects 2) secondary anti-tussive action 3) an increase in the anti-atelectase factor which compensates for decreases in lung surfactant (lowered surface tension in the alveolar region caused by stress and disease) 4) increased lung compliance
