Mucolite Syrup belongs to a class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat acute (short term) and chronic (long term) respiratory diseases associated with excess mucus. Acute respiratory diseases are initially associated with dry, irritating cough, hoarseness in laryngitis (swelling of the voice box) or burning sensation in chest due to bronchitis (swelling of the lining of bronchial tubes). Then, wet mucus forms and continuous coughing out of sputum occurs. In chronic respiratory diseases, both dry irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.

Mucolite Syrup contains Ambroxol that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nose. Mucolite Syrup breakdown the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous removing sputum efficiently by coughing. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained.

Take Mucolite Syrup as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Mucolite Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, taste change, numbness in mouth, tongue and throat. Most of these side effects of Mucolite Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Mucolite Syrup . If you have kidney or liver problems, stomach ulcer, asthma or cough from long time, please inform your doctor before taking Mucolite Syrup . In children below 6 years, liquid form is preferred as tablets are contraindicated.

Mucolite Syrup is a mucolytic agent (mucus thinner) that is used to treat acute (short term) and chronic (long term) respiratory diseases associated with excess mucus. Mucolite Syrup helps in making cough less viscous so that it can be coughed out easily in the conditions of acute and recurrent bronchitis (airways infection), laryngitis (voice box infection), and tracheitis (windpipe infection) and chronic diseases like chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Thus, helps in thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose to cough out easily and provide relief from symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, tightness in the chest and shortness of breath.

Talk to your doctor before taking Mucolite Syrup if you have had a cough for a long time, asthma or suffer from serious asthma attacks, liver or kidney problems, or peptic or duodenal ulcers. There have been reports of severe skin allergic reactions with Mucolite Syrup , so if you develop a skin rash, immediately stop using Mucolite Syrup and contact your doctor immediately.
