1. What Mucosolvan is and what it is used for
Ambroxol hydrochloride, the active substance in Mucosolvan, increases mucus secretion in the
respiratory tract, thereby facilitating expectoration and relieving cough.
Indications
Acute and chronic lung and bronchial diseases associated with impaired mucus secretion and
difficulties in its transport.
2. Important information before using Mucosolvan
When not to use Mucosolvan
- if the patient is allergic to ambroxol hydrochloride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). Warnings and precautions
- If the patient has renal function disorders or severe liver insufficiency, medical advice should be sought before using Mucosolvan.
- Severe skin reactions associated with ambroxol hydrochloride have been reported. If a rash occurs (including lesions of mucous membranes, e.g. in the oral cavity, throat, nose, eyes, genital organs), treatment with Mucosolvan must be discontinued immediately and the patient should contact a doctor without delay.
Mucosolvan and other medicines
Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines currently used or recently used, as well as any medicines the patient intends to take.
Ambroxol increases the concentration of antibiotics (amoxicillin, cefuroxime, erythromycin) in bronchopulmonary secretion and sputum.
Mucosolvan should not be administered simultaneously with antitussive medicines (e.g. codeine), as this may lead to dangerous accumulation of bronchial secretions due to suppressed cough reflex. Antitussive agents impair the expectoration of liquefied mucus by suppressing the cough reflex.
No clinically significant adverse interactions with other medicines have been demonstrated.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, suspects she may be pregnant, or is planning to have a child, she should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
The use of Mucosolvan during pregnancy is not recommended, especially during the first three months of pregnancy.
The use of Mucosolvan is not recommended in breastfeeding women, as ambroxol hydrochloride passes into breast milk.
Non-clinical studies have not shown a direct or indirect harmful effect of the medicine on fertility. There are no clinical studies on the effect of the medicine on fertility.
Driving and operating machinery
There is no evidence of an effect of the medicine on the ability to drive or operate machinery. No studies have been conducted on the effect of the medicine on the ability to drive or operate machinery.
