About Mucolite Drops

Mucolite Drops belongs to a class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat acute (short term) and chronic (long term) respiratory diseases associated with excess mucus. Mucolite Drops is used in the conditions of acute and recurrent bronchitis (airways infection), laryngitis (voice box infection), tracheitis (windpipe infection) and chronic diseases like chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Mucolite Drops contains Ambroxol hydrochloride that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Mucolite Drops 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.

Use Mucolite Drops as prescribed. Based on your child's condition your paediatrician will suggest a suitable dosage regime. Mucolite Drops may cause common side effects such as nausea, taste change, and numbness in the mouth, tongue and throat. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or bother your child, please seek medical help.

If your child is allergic to ambroxol, inform your doctor. And also, inform your child's entire medical history including ongoing medications to avoid unwanted effects and possible interactions. Do not give more than the prescribed dose. Do not use other cough medicines unless prescribed by the doctor.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cough: Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus and other matter) from the lungs. A dry cough does not produce sputum. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection, but coughing up mucus is possibly an infection in the respiratory tract.
