1. WHAT IS MUCOFRIN AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
Mucofrin contains the active ingredient N-Acetylcysteine, which belongs to a group of medicines
called mucolytics, used to facilitate the elimination of mucus from the respiratory tract and to a group
of medicines called antidotes used to counteract the toxic effect of certain substances.
Mucofrin is indicated in the treatment of diseases of the respiratory system characterized by an
increase in the production of dense and viscous mucus (dense and viscous hypersecretion) such as:
- inflammation of the bronchi (acute bronchitis, chronic bronchitis and its exacerbations);
- pathology of the pulmonary alveoli (pulmonary emphysema);
- cystic fibrosis (mucoviscidosis);
- dilations of the bronchi (bronchiectasis).
Mucofrin is used as an antidote in particular for:
- Accidental or intentional poisoning with paracetamol, a pain-relieving and antipyretic medicine.
- pathologies affecting the urinary tract (uropathies) caused by chemotherapeutic drugs such as iso and cyclophosphamide.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE USING MUCOFRIN
Do not take Mucofrin
if you are allergic to N-acetylcysteine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in
section 6) unless used as an antidote in case of paracetamol poisoning;
- - if the patient is a child under 2 years of age, unless used as an antidote in case of paracetamol poisoning.
Warnings and precautions
1/5
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Mucofrin. Take this medicine with caution
and always under the control of your doctor in the following cases:
- if you suffer from an inflammatory disease of the bronchi called bronchial asthma. Immediately stop
taking Mucofrin if you experience bronchospasm (contraction of the bronchial muscles) - if you suffer from or have suffered from a problem with your stomach or intestines called a peptic ulcer, especially if you are taking other medicines that can cause stomach problems (gastrolesive drugs) together with Mucofrin.
- - If you have previously suffered from atopy and asthma as you may develop allergic reactions;
- - If you are intolerant to histamine as you may develop allergic reactions;
This medicine may increase the volume of bronchial mucus (bronchial secretions),
especially if administered by aerosol, at the beginning of treatment. Therefore, if this occurs and
you are unable to eliminate the bronchial secretions by coughing (expectorating), consult your doctor
who will indicate a method for eliminating the mucus (postural drainage or bronchoaspiration).
Allergic (hypersensitivity/anaphylactoid) reactions can occur with N-acetylcysteine. Monitoring
for signs of an allergic reaction may be necessary.
This medicine must be administered with particular caution and strictly following the
instructions given in the section “How to take Mucofrin”.
Keep in mind that:
- administration of Mucofrin to counteract the toxic effect of certain substances (antidotal treatment) has in very rare cases caused death;
- if Mucofrin is to be administered to counteract the toxic effect of certain substances (antidotal treatment) in people with a body weight of less than 40 Kg, an excessive administration of fluids may occur with consequent reduction of sodium in the blood (hyponatremia), convulsions and death;
- if Mucofrin is administered intravenously rapidly or in excessive quantities, it may increase the occurrence of undesirable effects.
This medicine may alter some blood parameters (reduction of prothrombin index,
increase of INR) when used as an antidote at the indicated dosage.
If you notice a sulfurous odor when opening the vial, or if the solution turns pink in the open vial
or when transferring the solution to the aerosol device, do not worry as this does not
indicate alteration of the medicine.
Laboratory tests:N-acetylcysteine may interfere with some blood and urine tests
(colorimetric dosage for the determination of salicylates and tests to determine ketones). Inform
your doctor that you are using this medicine before undergoing these tests.
Children
Mucofrin should not be administered to children under 2 years of age, as it may obstruct the
bronchi and prevent normal breathing.
The same warnings and precautions as for adults apply to children and adolescents.
2/5
Other medicines and Mucofrin
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take
any other medicines.
Do not take this medicine if you are taking cough medicines (antitussives), as
they may lead to an accumulation of mucus inside the bronchi.
Use this medicine with caution and consult your doctor if you are taking any of the following
medicines:
- nitroglycerin, used for some heart conditions. The use of this medicine together with Mucofrin may cause a reduction in blood pressure (hypotension) and headache;
- antibiotics, medicines used to treat infections. Do not mix these medicines with the solution containing Mucofrin.
You can use Mucofrin together with medicines for the treatment of asthma (see section
“Warnings and precautions”) and diseases of the bronchi and lungs (bronchodilators) or
medicines to increase blood pressure (vasoconstrictors).

more serious, to the undesirable effects listed in the “Possible side effects” section. No cases of
overdose have been reported instead when this medicine is administered by
aerosol or bronchial route. However, following the administration of an excessive dose of this
medicine, an accumulation of mucus in the bronchi may occur, especially if the patient is unable
to eliminate it by coughing (expectorating). Immediately consult your doctor who will indicate a
method to eliminate the mucus (bronchoaspiration).
In case of ingestion/taking an excessive dose of this medicine, immediately warn
your doctor or go to the nearest hospital.
