In this way, Liblab® combats the typical symptoms of bronchitis: excessive production of thick mucus, shortness of breath and the urge to cough, thereby allowing the patient to breathe freely again.
Liblab® Cough Syrup is used to improve symptoms of chronic-inflammatory bronchial diseases; acute inflammations of the respiratory tract accompanied by coughing.
