release of mucus

Expectorant effect would also be a possibility but as this is aimed at consumers, I would rather keep it simple and easily understandable.

Discharge might be the medical term but that doesn't make release a wrong choice of words. As I said, it might be wise to keep it simple.

expectoration

It can increase expectoration.

Mucolytics are used to increase expectoration by reducing sputum viscosity or hypersecretion.

disagree Harald Moelzer (medical-translator) : ...'expectoration' refers to the excretion of mucus and would be 'Abhusten/Auswurf' in German
