The presence of antioxidants, such as erdosteine, required to inhibit the oxidative stress therefore it can improve the clinical symptoms in patients with COPD. Aim. To analyze the improvement of symptoms in COPD patients who received erdosteine as an additional therapy compared with COPD patients who only receive the regular therapy. Methods.

Observations made during the 10 days, the subjects answered a questionnaire about their clinical symptoms. Results. A total of 27 subjects were included in the control group and 25 in the test group. In the control group, after 10 days, the value of the pre-test and post-test differ significantly in symptom scores (p = 0.000; CI 95%), as well as the value of the test group. The value improvement were analyzed by comparing the delta score between pre-test and post-test. It showed a better improvement in the test group (p = 0.040; 95% CI). Conclusion.
