Scientific Evidence:

Carbocysteine, the active ingredient in Mucolik syrup, is a mucolytic agent that works by breaking down mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up. Studies have shown that carbocysteine can improve mucus clearance and reduce the frequency and severity of respiratory exacerbations in patients with chronic bronchitis.

One study published in the International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease demonstrated that carbocysteine treatment significantly reduced sputum viscosity and improved lung function in patients with chronic bronchitis. The study concluded that carbocysteine is an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for respiratory conditions characterized by excessive mucus production.

Additional Information:

• Mucolik syrup should be stored at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
• Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Mucolik syrup as it may increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
• If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
