Medical remedy, without a prescription, to treat chesty coughs.
Indications
Mucosolvan syrup is a mucolytic product based on ambroxol hydrochloride, which acts on chesty coughs, facilitating the liquefaction of phlegm and promoting its expulsion.
The drug acts on secretion disorders in acute bronchopulmonary diseases, helping to expel phlegm from the bronchi, blocked because it is thickened or enlarged. In particular, its effect is manifested by:
- dissolving mucus
- facilitating its expulsion
- helping to get rid of a productive cough
Mucosolvan is a syrup for children, aged over 2 years, and for adults. It has a pleasant berry aroma and contains no sugar, so it is also suitable for consumption by diabetic patients.
Composition
100 ml of syrup contains:
- active ingredient of ambroxol hydrochloride 300 mg;
- benzoic acid, hydroxyethylcellulose, sucralose, berry flavoring, vanilla flavoring, purified water.
Dosage and Directions for Use
The recommended dose of Mucosolvan to take is:
- Adults: 10 ml 3 times a day.
- Children over 5 years: 3 ml 4 times a day.
- Children from 2 to 5 years: 3 ml 3 times a day.
It can be taken on an empty or full stomach.
In acute respiratory conditions, consult a doctor if symptoms do not improve or worsen during treatment.
Warnings
Ambroxol hydrochloride should be administered with caution to patients with peptic ulcers. In very few cases, serious skin lesions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) have been observed in conjunction with the administration of expectorants such as ambroxol. Most of these could be explained by the severity of underlying diseases or other concomitant medications. Furthermore, in the initial phase of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), patients may initially experience nonspecific flu-like symptoms, such as fever, chills, rhinitis, cough, and sore throat. If new skin or mucous membrane lesions occur, consult a doctor immediately and discontinue treatment with ambroxol hydrochloride as a precaution. In case of impaired renal function, this drug can be used only after consulting a doctor. Mucolytics can cause bronchial obstruction in children under 2 years of age.
The syrup contains glycerol, which can cause headache, gastric disturbances, and diarrhea, and sorbitol, so it should not be taken by patients with rare problems of fructose intolerance. Sorbitol can cause bronchial obstruction in children under 2 years of age. It may also have a moderate laxative effect.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Severe liver and kidney disorders. The drug is contraindicated in children under 2 years of age. Taking the drug is contraindicated in case of rare hereditary diseases that may be incompatible with one of the excipients.
Interactions
Following the administration of ambroxol, the concentrations of antibiotics (amoxicillin, cefuroxime, erythromycin) in bronchopulmonary secretions and saliva are increased. No interactions with other medicinal products have been reported.
Format
200 ml bottle with child-resistant closure and practical measuring cup, which guarantees perfect dosing.
