What is Mucopect Kids and how does it work?
Mucopect Kids is a medicine that contains a drug substance called carbocisteine . It belongs to a group of substances called “mucolytics”, used in the treatment of respiratory diseases associated with excessive secretion of mucus in the bronchi. Carbocisteine causes a decrease in the viscosity of mucus (phlegm), thanks to which it is more easily removed from the respiratory tract during coughing.
Mucopect Kids should not be used for longer than 4 to 5 days without a doctor’s recommendation. If there is no improvement or the patient feels worse after this time, contact your doctor.
