Carbex Plus 120ml Syrup

Carbex Plus 120ml Syrup contains Carbocisteine as its active ingredient. Carbocisteine is a mucolytic agent used to facilitate the removal of mucus in various respiratory conditions. It works by breaking down the mucus, making it less viscous and easier to cough up, thereby relieving congestion and improving breathing.

Uses:

Carbex Plus 120ml Syrup is prescribed for:

• Respiratory Conditions: Helps in the management of respiratory conditions associated with excessive mucus production, such as acute and chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis.
• Cough: Relieves cough by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, making it easier to expel.

Side Effects:

While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects with Carbex Plus 120ml Syrup, including:

• Gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
• Allergic reactions, manifested as skin rash, itching, or hives.

Before taking Carbex Plus 120ml Syrup, consider the following precautions:
