Introduction
Muconil Syrup is a medication used to treat wet cough in children. It contains three active ingredients: Ambroxol, Guaifenesin, and Terbutaline. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in thinning and loosening mucus, making it easier to cough out, and relaxing and widening the muscles in the airways. The medication is available in syrup form and should be taken orally with or without food, as advised by the doctor.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Muconil Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Muconil Syrup contains three active medicines. Each ingredient present in this medicine plays a pivotal role. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of the mucus and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the muscles in the airways.
Quick Tips
Muconil Syrup may make your child feel sleepy. Advise your child to be cautious when taking part in physical activities. Do not share your child’s medicines with other children, even if they show similar symptoms. Stop Muconil Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Practice self-care tips: Clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing to avoid allergies, give your child plenty of fluids, restrain your child from having caffeinated products and foods that are spicy and fried, make your child gargle with warm saltwater, and ensure your child takes enough rest.

Frequently asked questions
My child has a cough with no mucus. Can I give Muconil Syrup?
Muconil Syrup is intended for treating wet coughs and aims to expel mucus from the airway tract, providing relief from throat irritation, congestion, and soothing effects. For dry coughs, cough suppressants are more appropriate. It's crucial to consult your child’s doctor before administering any medication to ensure the right choice for your child.
What if my child takes too much Muconil Syrup?
Overdosing or prolonged use of Muconil Syrup can lead to serious side effects like seizures, rapid heart rate, and excessive salivation. Ensure you give the medication strictly as prescribed by your doctor, including dosage, time, and method. Avoid abrupt discontinuation even if symptoms improve. Sudden withdrawal may worsen your child's condition.
My child has a severe cough. Can I give him two cough medicines together?
Don’t give your child more than one cough or cold medicine at a time unless specifically advised by your child's doctor. In case of uncertainty, always seek guidance from your child’s doctor before giving any medication.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
Never administer medications intended for adults to children. Always ensure the prescribed dosage and formulation are suitable for your child's age and condition to avoid adverse effects. Carefully examine the medication label before administering it to your child.
How should Muconil Syrup be stored?
Store Muconil Syrup at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
