Narcotic preparations are medicines that primarily induce sleep. The basic three narcotics are
morphine, codeine, and thebaine. Mucokinetics are drugs that clear mucus from the lungs, airways,
trachea, and bronchi. Mucokinetics can be divided into expectorants, mucolytic agents, and surfactants.
Expectorant signals the body to amplify the quantity or hydration of secretions, thereby resulting into
clearer secretions. As a byproduct, expectorant lubricates the respiratory tract. Guaifenesin, an
expectorant is commonly used in many cough syrups.

is an abrupt and frequently occurring involuntary or voluntary reflex of our body in order to clear any
unfamiliar material from the respiratory tract. Recurrent coughing is often associated with a variety of
respiratory diseases, microbial infections, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD).
