Fluimucil mucolytic 600 mg effervescent tablet is indicated for the treatment of respiratory diseases characterised by increased production of thick and viscous mucus (thick and viscous hyper secretion).

Fluimucil Mucolytic 600 mg effervescent tablets contains the active ingredient N-acetylcysteine, which belongs to a group of medicines called mucolytics, used to facilitate the removal of mucus from the respiratory tract. Excipients: Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Lemon Flavouring, Aspartame.

Fluimucil Mucolytic 600 mg effervescent tablet dissolves the deposits of phlegm in the infected bronchi, because of fatty cough, and allows an easier expulsion.

N-acetylcysteine exerts an intense mucolytic and condenser action on phlegm, de-polimerizing the protein complexes and nucleic acids that make it sticky; it has also an antioxidant action that inhibits oxidizing radicals and increases the defence mechanisms of respiratory membranes.

It is recommended to take Fluimucil Mucolytic 600 mg effervescent tablets with caution and always under medical supervision in the following cases:
