1. What is Fluimucil and what is it used for

Acetylcysteine, the active ingredient of this medication, belongs to a group of medications called mucolytics, which act by decreasing the viscosity of mucus, making it more fluid and facilitating its elimination.

This medication is indicated to facilitate the elimination of excess mucus and phlegm in colds and flu, for adults.

You should consult a doctor if it worsens or if it does not improve after 5 days.

Doctor consultation

If you are asthmatic or have a severe respiratory disease, you should consult with your doctor before taking this medication.

The possible sulfurous odor (like rotten eggs) of the medication is characteristic of the active ingredient, but it does not indicate that the medication is in poor condition.

If you experience stomach discomfort when taking the medication, suspend treatment and consult your doctor or pharmacist. Caution is recommended in patients with peptic ulcer or history of peptic ulcer.

During the first days of treatment, you may observe an increase in mucus and phlegm, which will decrease throughout the treatment.

Children and Adolescents

Children and adolescents should not take this medication. There are other presentations more suitable for this population.

Taking Fluimucil with Other Medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medication.

Concomitant therapy with nitroglycerin may produce headache and hypotension should be monitored, which can be severe.

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

Do not take 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 Fluimucil from the intake of these medications by at least 2 hours.

It is not recommended to dissolve Fluimucil with other medications.

Driving and Using Machines

Fluimucil Contains Aspartame, Sodium, Glucose, and Sulfites

This medication contains 20 mg of aspartame in each tablet.

Aspartame contains a source of phenylalanine that may be harmful in case of phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disease in which phenylalanine accumulates because the body is unable to eliminate it correctly.

This medication contains 157.9 mg of sodium (main component of table salt) in each tablet. This is equivalent to 7.9% of the maximum daily sodium intake recommended for an adult.

This medication contains glucose. If your doctor has indicated that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medication.

This medication may cause severe allergic reactions and bronchospasm (sudden feeling of suffocation) because it contains sulfites.
