How Mucopex D Suspension works

Mucolytic/expectorant medicines thin and loosen thick mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough out. This helps clear chest congestion and improves breathing in wet cough.

How to take Mucopex D Suspension

Oral suspension: Shake well before use. Measure with a dosing cup/spoon and take exactly as prescribed, preferably after food. Drink plenty of fluids; do not exceed the recommended dose.

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. It can cause severe drowsiness, a fast heartbeat, confusion and, in children, agitation and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Expert advice for Mucopex D Suspension
