About Mucodyne Capsule
Mucodyne Capsule belongs to the expectorant or mucolytic agent class. It is generally used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited condition that causes sticky mucus in the lungs and digestive system. This causes lung infections and problems with food.
Mucodyne Capsule contains Carbocisteine, a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner). It works by making mucus (phlegm) less sticky. This makes the mucus easier to cough up.
You should take Mucodyne Capsule as your doctor directed. This medication may show common side effects, including vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, and epigastric discomfort (discomfort in the upper abdomen). Most of these effects subside over time without needing medical care. However, consult a doctor if the side effects worsen or persist.
It is recommended not to use if you are allergic to carbocisteine or any other ingredients in Mucodyne Capsule . This medicine should not be taken during the first three months of your pregnancy. Talk to your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not breastfeed unless instructed by the doctor during the therapy. Mucodyne Capsule is not recommended for use in children less than 12 years of age. A paediatric syrup is available for use in children.

Medicinal Benefits
Mucodyne Capsule contains carbocisteine, a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner). It works by modulating the sputum viscosity in the respiratory tract, making it more fluid and less thick, increasing the mucociliary rate and allowing mucus removal from the respiratory tract. Thereby, it helps to treat the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis.
