Fudosteine (Cleanal) is a mucolytic agent.[1] In Japan, it is approved for the treatment of bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, bronchiectasis, pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, atypical mycobacterial disease, and diffuse panbronchiolitis.[2]

Fudosteine works by increasing mucin secretion by inhibiting expression of the protein mucin 5AC.[3]
