Acetylcisteine 200 Mg 10 Sachets

Description:

Acetylcisteine 200 mg 10 Sachets is a prescription mucolytic medicine containing acetylcysteine, used to thin and loosen thick mucus in the airways and to support the management of paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose under medical supervision. Each sachet provides 200 mg of acetylcysteine in powder form for oral solution, helping to relieve productive cough, improve breathing, and protect the liver in specific poisoning cases. This product is intended for use as directed by a healthcare professional and is manufactured by Sedico.

Indications:

• Management of respiratory conditions associated with excessive, thick, or sticky mucus, such as acute and chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma with mucus plugging, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, and tracheobronchitis.
• Relief of productive (chesty) cough by reducing the viscosity of bronchial secretions and facilitating expectoration.
• Adjunctive treatment in respiratory infections where mucus clearance is beneficial, as prescribed by a doctor.
• Used in the management of paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose to help prevent liver damage, only under strict medical supervision and following hospital protocols.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Acetylcysteine – 200 mg per sachet (mucolytic agent and antidote for paracetamol overdose).
• Excipients: Specific excipients (such as flavoring agents, sweeteners, and fillers) are not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• For respiratory conditions (mucolytic use): The usual adult dose is often 200 mg acetylcysteine 2–3 times daily, or as directed by the physician. Pediatric dosing and frequency must be determined by a doctor based on age and weight.
• Method of administration: Empty the contents of one sachet into a glass, add an adequate amount of water, stir until completely dissolved, and drink immediately.
• Can generally be taken with or without food; if gastric discomfort occurs, taking it after food may be preferable. Follow your doctor’s instructions.
• For paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose: Dosing, route, and duration are strictly determined by hospital protocols and must only be given under medical supervision. Do not self-treat overdose with this product.
• Duration of use: Use for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms or as prescribed. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration without medical advice.
• If a dose is missed: Take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps liquefy and break down thick, sticky mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear.
• Improves airway clearance and supports easier breathing in conditions with excessive mucus production.
• Acts as an antioxidant precursor to glutathione, helping protect liver cells in cases of paracetamol overdose when used under medical supervision.
• May reduce the frequency and severity of mucus-related coughing and congestion when used as prescribed.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to acetylcysteine or any of the other components of the product.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding, as mucolytics may irritate the gastric mucosa.
• Patients with asthma or bronchospasm should use acetylcysteine under close medical supervision, as it may rarely trigger bronchospasm in susceptible individuals.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding; acetylcysteine should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney impairment, gastric or duodenal ulcers, asthma, or other serious chronic illnesses.
• For paracetamol overdose, this medicine must not be used for self-medication; emergency medical attention is required.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without appropriate medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose. If symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by high fever, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, seek medical advice promptly.

• Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, mild stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or unpleasant taste.
• Less common side effects can include headache, ringing in the ears, or mild skin reactions such as rash or itching.
• Rare but serious side effects include severe allergic reactions (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing), severe skin reactions, or bronchospasm (wheezing, chest tightness). Stop use and seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
