CARBOCISTEINE

Carbocisteine thins and loosens mucus, making a chesty cough easier to clear. It is used where sticky phlegm is a problem.

What Carbocisteine Is Used For

• Chesty cough with thick phlegm
• Conditions with sticky mucus, such as COPD

Common Side Effects

• Nausea
• Stomach upset
• Loose motions

Precautions

Carbocisteine helps clear phlegm rather than suppressing the cough. Tell your doctor if you have, or have had, a stomach ulcer. See a doctor if a cough lasts more than a couple of weeks, brings up blood, or comes with high fever or breathlessness.
