Indication
For cough associated with wheeziness (bronchospasm) and tenacious phlegm (sputum). Mucoxin is used to treat breathing difficulties caused by excessive mucus secretions in the air passages associated with respiratory tract infections.
Instruction
Tablet: Adults and Children >12 years: 8 mg (1 tab) thrice daily; 6-12 years: 4 mg (½ tab) thrice daily; 2-6 years: 4 mg (½ tab) twice daily.
Drug interaction
A reduction in dose of cardiac glycosides (e.g. digitalis) and quinidine might become necessary in patients suffering from congestive cardiac failure because of the positive inotropic effect of orciprenaline sulphate. Mucoxin SYRUP should not be administered concomitantly with beta-blocking agents, due to orciprenaline’s reversal of anti-hypertensive action.The concomitant use of other sympathomimetic agents should be carefully controlled to avoid potentiation of effects.
