About Mucolite Tablet

Mucolite Tablet is primarily used to treat cough. It also treats acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) respiratory diseases characterised by excess mucus. Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (such as allergens, mucus, or smoke) from the airways.

Mucolite Tablet contains Ambroxol, which works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose.

Mucolite Tablet may cause common side effects such as nausea, changes in taste, and numbness in the mouth, tongue, and throat. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist or bother your child, please seek medical help.

If your child is allergic to ambroxol, inform your doctor. Also, provide your child's complete medical history, including current medications, to avoid adverse effects and potential interactions. Do not exceed the prescribed dose. Do not use other cough medicines unless prescribed by the doctor.

How Mucolite Tablet Works

Mucolite Tablet contains Ambroxol hydrochloride that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Mucolite Tablet breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres and makes 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.
