1.
WHAT MUCODYNE PAEDIATRIC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Mucodyne Paediatric Syrup 125mg/5ml (called Mucodyne Paediatric in
this leaflet) contains a 
medicine called carbocisteine. This belongs to a group of medicines
called ‘mucolytics’. It works by 
making mucus (phlegm) less sticky. This makes the mucus easier to
cough up.
Mucodyne Paediatric is used for problems with the breathing passages
(respiratory tract). These 
problems happen when too much mucus is made or the mucus is too
sticky.
Mucodyne Paediatric is specially made for children.
