Dosage/Direction for Use
MUCOTIC HD is administered orally.
Dosage: Reduced viscosity of the secretion: Adults and children over 7 years of aged: Dissolve 1 sachet in about half a glass of water (125 ml) once daily or in 3 divided doses.
Antidotes of Paracetamol: Acetylcysteine is used orally or IV as an antidote for the treatment of Paracetamol overdosage. When administered within 8 hours of Paracetamol ingestion, oral or IV acetylcysteine can effectively prevent or minimize hepatotoxicity associated with acute overdosage of Paracetamol. Acetylcysteine is most effective if administered within 8 hours of ingestion. However, acetylcysteine also may be effective when given 24 hours or longer after ingestion. When acetylcysteine is administered orally as a 5% solution, a loading dose of 140 mg/kg is administered. To complete a full course of therapy, the loading dose is followed by oral maintenance doses of 70 mg/kg every 4 hours for 17 doses. If a patient receiving oral acetylcysteine vomits a loading or maintenance dose within 1 hour of administration, the dose should be repeated.
Use as directed by the physician.
