1. Human Medicine
• Treatment of Respiratory Diseases
As an expectorant, it is used to relieve excessive phlegm and cough caused by chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, upper respiratory tract infections, etc.
• Mechanism of Action
It works by increasing the volume of respiratory secretions and reducing their viscosity, making it easier to cough up phlegm.
• Other Potential Applications
Studies have shown that it may have muscle relaxant effects and can enhance analgesic effects (such as with acetaminophen).

2. Veterinary Medicine
• Component of Compound Anesthetics
As a muscle relaxant, it is used in combination with drugs such as ketamine and pentobarbital sodium for general anesthesia or immobilization in animals such as rabbits, cattle, and horses.
• Effects and Benefits
It can provide effective surgical anesthesia time (e.g., over 30 minutes) and reduce adverse reactions of certain anesthetic drugs.

3. Chemical Industry
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate
As a fine chemical intermediate, it can be used in the synthesis of products such as pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and dyes.
