Uses of Mucolite 30 mg Syrup
What is it prescribed for?
Emphysema
Emphysema is a condition that involves damage to the walls of the air sacs (alveoli) of the lung. Mucolite 30 mg Syrup is used to ease the symptoms of emphysema like shortness of breath, persistent cough, and swelling of the airways of the lungs by making the sputum thin and less viscous and easy to cough out.
Tracheobronchitis
Tracheobronchitis is an infection causing swelling of the trachea (windpipe) and airways of the lungs. Mucolite 30 mg Syrup is used in the symptomatic treatment of Tracheobronchitis as it provides relief from symptoms such as excessive cough and thick sputum.
Acute exacerbations of bronchitis
Acute exacerbation of bronchitis refers to a sudden worsening of the symptoms of bronchitis (narrowing of the airways).
