About Vocronac 600mg Capsule

Vocronac 600mg Capsule belongs to a class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat respiratory diseases associated with excessive mucus. Acute respiratory diseases are initially associated with dry, irritating cough, hoarseness in laryngitis (swelling of the voice box), or burning sensation in the chest due to bronchitis (swelling of the lining of bronchial tubes). Then, wet mucus forms, and continuous coughing out of sputum occurs. In chronic respiratory diseases, both dry irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.

Vocronac 600mg Capsule contains 'Acetylcysteine' that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nasal passage. Thereby, making it easier to cough out phlegm.

Take Vocronac 600mg Capsule as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Vocronac 600mg Capsule based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, or fever. Most of these side effects of Vocronac 600mg Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Vocronac 600mg Capsule or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Vocronac 600mg Capsule is not recommended for children below 14 years of age. Drink plenty of fluids to thin mucus and lubricate your throat while taking Vocronac 600mg Capsule. When the bottle is opened, the liquid (syrup) colour may change and have a bad odor.
