WHAT MUCOSOLVAN 24 HOURS
IS
USED FOR
MUCOSOLVAN 24 Hours is used to
thin the mucus in acute and chronic
bronchial and lung diseases where thick
and tenacious mucus is a problem.
HOW
MUCOSOLVAN
24
HOURS
WORKS
Mucosolvan contains a medicine called
ambroxol
which
helps
to
make
the
mucus thinner, activates the cilia to get
rid
of
mucus
faster,
and
stimulates
release of a fluid (surfactant) to protect
the lungs.
BEFORE YOU USE MUCOSOLVAN 24
HOURS
-
_When you must not use it _
Do not use Mucosolvan if you are
allergic to ambroxol hydrochloride or
to
any
of
the
other
ingredients
in
Mucosolvan.
If you are not sure if you have these
allergies,
you
should
raise
those
concerns
with
your
doctor
or
pharmacist.
You should not use Mucosolvan after
the EXPIRY DATE on the carton or
container.
In
very
few
cases,
severe
skin
disorders
have
been
reported
after
administration
of
mucolytic
substances
(e.g.
ambroxol
hydrochloride).
Therefore
if
new
skin
or
mucosal
lesions
occur,
medical
advice
should
be
sought
immediately
and
treatment
with
ambroxol hydrochloride discontinued
as a precaution.
If
you
have
any
kidney
problems,
check with your doctor before taking
this medicine.
In some rare lung diseases which are
associated
with
excessive
accumulation
of
secretions
(e.g.
primary
ciliary
dyskinesia),
MUCOSOLVAN
24
Hours
should
only
be
used
under
medical
supervision because of the risk that
secretions may accumulate.
