Keyline
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before
taking Mucolight Capsules:
Mucolight Capsules contain a medicine called
acetylcysteine. This belongs to a group of
medicines called mucolytics. It works by making
the mucus (phlegm) less sticky which makes
the mucus easier to cough up. Acetylcysteine is
used for problems with the breathing passages
(respiratory tract).

If you are allergic to histamine. If you are
not able to tolerate food and drinks that
contain large amounts of histamine such as
wine, tomatoes or processed food, then

most common symptoms of histamine
intolerance are migraine headaches,
flushing, hives and rhinitis (stuffy, runny
nose) and itching.
