About Mucolite Ls Syrup

Mucolite Ls Syrup is generally used to treat productive cough and its associated medical conditions. The medication works by losing all the stuck mucus from the respiratory tracks like the nose, throat and windpipe and lungs.

It also widens the windpipe making a better pathway for oxygen to enter the lungs. This helps the patient to cough out all the mucus out of the lungs.

The medications consist of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremor, stomach upset, diarrhoea and a possible relapse of fits so consult your doctor before making any decisions.

Other than that one may feel watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose or throat irritation which is quite common during the course of Mucolite Ls Syrup. This can easily be treated with a saltwater gargle.
