The 120mL bottle of Solmux is

a pediatric syrup (suspension) containing 200mg of Carbocisteine per 5mL. It is used to relieve cough with excessive or sticky phlegm in children and adults. 

Key Features and Uses

• Active Ingredient: Carbocisteine (200mg per 5mL).

• Purpose: As a mucolytic agent, it thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) in the airways, making it easier to cough up and expel. This "lung-cleaning" action helps treat respiratory tract disorders.

• Indications: It is primarily used for the symptomatic treatment of productive cough associated with conditions such as:

• Acute and chronic bronchitis

• Bronchial asthma

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

• Otitis media with effusion (glue ear)

• Formulation: The pediatric syrup is a red, clear syrup with a strawberry odor and sweet strawberry taste, designed with TasteRite technology to appeal to children.

• Bacteria/Virus Adherence: Carbocisteine has been shown in studies to inhibit the adherence of bacteria and viruses to human respiratory cells. 

Dosage Information

The medicine is typically taken orally, with food. The recommended dosage varies by age, or as directed by a doctor: 

• Children 2-3 years: 2.5 mL (½ teaspoon) every 8 hours

• Children 4-7 years: 5 mL (1 teaspoon) every 8 hours

• Children 8-12 years: 7.5 mL (1½ teaspoons) every 8 hours
