About Carbocisteine (CEASCOL) 250mg/5mL Syrup 60 mL

Carbocisteine (CEASCOL) 250mg/5mL Syrup 60 mL is a mucolytic agent designed to manage respiratory tract disorders characterized by excessive or thick mucus. It works by breaking down the chemical structure of mucus, making it less sticky and easier to expel from the airways through coughing. This action helps clear the respiratory passages, reduces congestion, and enhances breathing.

This syrup formulation is particularly useful in children and adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets. It is typically prescribed in cases of bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sinusitis, and other respiratory illnesses with excessive mucus production. The pleasant-tasting syrup comes in a 60mL bottle, ideal for short treatment courses.
