1. What is Apitussic and what is it used for

Apitussic is a syrup intended for children and adults. It has an expectorant and mucolytic effect, making it easier to cough up mucus. It reduces the viscosity of mucus and facilitates its movement in the bronchi by stimulating the ciliary activity of the mucous membrane. The content of pine honey enhances the expectorant effect of the syrup. The use of the syrup does not disrupt the balance of the gut microflora.

2. Important information before taking Apitussic

If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to some sugars, they should consult their doctor before taking the medicine. Avoid using the medicine in patients with active peptic ulcer disease - the medicine may exacerbate symptoms. Patients who have observed disturbing symptoms after taking the medicine (e.g., laxative effect) should discontinue Apitussic and consult their doctor. During treatment and within 24 hours of the last administration, metabolites of guaiacol present in the urine may alter the results of biochemical tests, especially the determination of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and vanillylmandelic acid.
