Tyloxapol is a nonionic liquid polymer of the alkyl aryl polyether alcohol type. It is used as a surfactant to aid liquefaction and removal of mucopurulent[citation needed] (containing mucus and pus) bronchopulmonary secretions administered by inhalation through a nebulizer or with a stream of oxygen.With intraperitoneal injection tyloxapol also blocks plasma lipolytic activity and thus the breakdown of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.
