Fluimucil Cold Cough Lingual Tabl 200 mg 20 pcs

What is Fluimucil cold cough and when is it used?

Fluimucil cold cough contains the active ingredient acetylcysteine. This active ingredient liquefies and loosens the tough, stuck mucus in the airways and promotes expectoration. The secretions found on the lining of the respiratory tract play an important role in defending against inhaled pollutants such as bacteria, dust and chemical contaminants. These irritants are trapped in the secretion, where they are rendered harmless and excreted in the sputum. In infections caused by bacteria and viruses (colds, flu, bronchitis) and in chronic irritation caused by pollutants, mucus production increases. The thickening of the mucus can block the airways, causing difficulty in breathing and sputum. Due to the expectorant effect of Fluimucil cold cough, the viscous mucus liquefies and can be coughed up more easily. This reduces the risk of infection. With a clear airway, the coughing subsides and breathing becomes easier. Fluimucil cold cough is therefore suitable for the treatment of cold cough with excessive mucus formation.

What should be considered?

The effect of Fluimucil cold cough is promoted by drinking plenty of it. Smoking contributes to the excessive formation of bronchial mucus. By not smoking, you can support the effect of Fluimucil cold cough.

When should Fluimucil cold cough not be taken?

Fluimucil cold cough should not be taken if you are known to be hypersensitive to the active ingredient acetylcysteine ??or any other ingredient and if you have stomach or intestinal ulcers. Fluimucil Cold Cough should also not be taken together with cough-suppressing medicines (antitussives), as these medicines suppress the cough and the natural self-cleaning of the respiratory tract, which impairs the expectoration of the liquefied mucus and can lead to a dangerous build-up of bronchial mucus bronchial spasms and respiratory infections. Your doctor knows what to do in such cases. Fluimucil cold cough should not be used on small children under the age of 2 years

When is caution required when taking Fluimucil cold cough?

The use of Fluimucil cold cough can, especially at the beginning of treatment, lead to liquefaction of the bronchial secretion and sputum support financially. If the patient is not able to cough it up sufficiently, the doctor can take supportive measures. If you have experienced a rash or difficulty breathing when you have previously taken a medicine with the same active ingredient as Fluimucil contains, you should tell your doctor, pharmacist or druggist before you start taking the medicine. If you suffer from high blood pressure, the Fluimucil cold cough effervescent tablets are not suitable for you, as they contain around 140 mg of sodium per effervescent tablet, equivalent to 350 mg of table salt. The salt released after ingestion can further increase your blood pressure and reduce the effectiveness of medicines for high blood pressure. The concomitant use of certain other medicines can lead to mutual interference. The effectiveness of certain drugs against circulatory disorders in the coronary vessels (e.g. nitroglycerin for angina pectoris) can be increased. Co-administration of acetylcysteine ??and carbamazepine can lead to a decrease in carbamazepine concentration. The simultaneous administration of cough suppressants (antitussives) can impair the effect of Fluimucil cold cough (see above: «When should Fluimucil cold cough not be taken?»). Furthermore, you should not take antibiotics at the same time as Fluimucil cold cough, but at least 2 hours apart.
