1. What cinfamucol acetilcisteína is and what it is used for

Acetilcisteína, the active ingredient of this medication, belongs to a group of medications called mucolytics, which act by reducing the viscosity of mucus, making it more fluid and easier to eliminate.

This medication is indicated to reduce the viscosity of mucus and phlegm, making it easier to expel, in catarrhal and flu-like processes, in adults and adolescents from 12 years old. You should consult a doctor if your condition worsens or does not improve after 5 days.

Concomitant administration with the antiepileptic carbamazepine may cause a decrease in the efficacy of carbamazepine.

Do not administer concomitantly with antitussive medications (for cough) or with those that decrease bronchial secretions (such as antihistamines and anticholinergics), as it may cause an accumulation of fluidified mucus.

When taking any medication that contains minerals such as iron or calcium, or any medication with antibiotics such as amphotericin B, ampicillin sodium, cephalosporins, lactobionate, erythromycin, and some tetracyclines, you should separate the intake of cinfamucol acetilcisteína by at least 2 hours.
