Mucolyt 4 mg/5 ml

Respiratory tract disorders with productive cough and thick mucus, such as bronchitis, tracheobronchitis and bronchiectasis.

Bromhexine is an oral mucolytic. It breaks up the structure of the mucopolysaccharide fibres in sputum, producing thinner, less viscous mucus that is easier to cough up.

Adult and child over 12 years: 8 mg three times daily (one 8 mg tablet, or 10 ml of syrup 4 mg/5 ml). Child 6-12 years: 5 ml of syrup three times daily. Child 2-6 years: 2.5 ml of syrup three times daily. Child under 2 years: only on medical advice.

Nausea, upper abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness and sweating. Skin rash and allergic reactions are rare.

Use with caution in patients with a history of peptic ulcer and in severe hepatic or renal impairment. Stop the drug if a skin rash appears. Use in pregnancy and breast-feeding only on medical advice.

Hypersensitivity to bromhexine or any ingredient of the preparation.
