About Mucodyne Capsule

Mucodyne Capsule belongs to the expectorant or mucolytic agent class. It helps treat respiratory tract conditions, including acute bronchitis, by relieving coughs that are marked by sputum. Mucodyne Capsule also prevents bacteria and viruses from adhering to human respiratory cells, which lowers the frequency of exacerbations linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Additionally, carbocisteine is used to treat cystic fibrosis and glue ear or otitis media with effusion. 

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.

Mucodyne Capsule may cause some common side effects like vomiting, feeling sick, diarrhoea, and epigastric discomfort (discomfort in the upper abdomen). Most of these side effects of Mucodyne Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if you notice any of these side effects persist or bother your child, consult your pediatrician.

Avoid using Mucodyne Capsule if your child is allergic to it. Inform the doctor about your child's entire medical history. Other drugs or supplements should not be combined with Mucodyne Capsule unless prescribed by a doctor. Do not give this medicine unless specified by the doctor.

Uses of Mucodyne Capsule

Acute bronchitis, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Otitis media and cystic fibrosis.

Directions for Use

Oral Suspension/syrup: Shake the bottle well before use. Take the prescribed dose by mouth using the measuring cup/dosing syringe/dropper provided by the pack.

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 short, severe chronic bronchitis episodes and cystic fibrosis.

Overcome Medication-Induced Nausea: A 9-Step Plan
  • Inform your doctor about the nausea and discuss possible alternatives to the medication or adjustments to the dosage.
  • Divide your daily food intake into smaller, more frequent meals to reduce nausea.
  • Opt for bland, easily digestible foods like crackers, toast, plain rice, bananas, and applesauce.
  • Avoid certain foods that can trigger nausea, such as fatty, greasy, spicy, and smelly foods.
  • Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broth, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks.
  • Use ginger (tea, ale, or candies) to help relieve nausea.
  • Get adequate rest and also avoid strenuous activities that can worsen nausea.
  • Talk to your doctor about taking anti-nausea medication if your nausea is severe.
  • Record when your nausea occurs, what triggers it, and what provides relief to help you identify patterns and manage your symptoms more effectively.
Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
  • Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).

  • Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.
  • Drink water or other clear fluids.
  • To prevent worsening of pain, limit intake of tea, coffee, or alcohol.

FAQs

Mucodyne Capsule contains Carbocisteine, which is a mucolytic medication (a cough/sputum thinner). It alters sputum viscosity in the respiratory tract, making it more fluid and less thick, boosting mucociliary rate and facilitating mucus evacuation from the respiratory system.

Common symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath, a persistent chesty cough with phlegm that does not go away, frequent chest infections and persistent wheezing.

Cystic fibrosis: It is an inherited condition that causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system.
