Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Mucolite Syrup. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.

All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.

Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Composition of Mucolite Syrup

Mucolite Syrup contains Ambroxol (30 mg/5 mL). It belongs to the Expectorant / mucolytic / bronchodilator class of medicines.

Uses of Mucolite Syrup

  • Reduces chest congestion
  • Thins mucus
  • Sugar-free

Benefits of Mucolite Syrup

In Cough
Mucolite either loosens the mucus so a chesty cough clears it more easily, or settles the reflex behind a dry, tickly cough, depending on the type you have been given.
In Chest congestion
Mucolite thins thick mucus in the chest so it can be coughed up, easing the heaviness and rattling and helping you breathe more freely.
In Common cold symptoms
Mucolite relieves the blocked nose, cough and congestion of a cold so you can rest and get on with your day while the infection runs its course.

How Mucolite Syrup works

Ambroxol loosens and thins the mucus in your airways so a cough clears it more easily, and eases the tightness that comes with congestion.

How to take Mucolite Syrup

Shake well before use, measure with the provided cup, take as directed by the pediatrician

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Mucolite Syrup

Most side effects of Mucolite are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Stomach upset
  • Drowsiness
  • Tremor
  • Fast heartbeat

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Do not give cough and cold preparations to young children except on a doctor's advice. Do not combine two cough preparations — they frequently contain the same ingredients, and the doses add up.
