Be sure to follow the printed instructions. The usual dose for treating heavy coughs in adults with carbocisteine with capsules or tablets is two, three times a day, or one, four times a day. It must be swallowed whole with a glass of water.
For a child, the assigned dose of Mucolit syrup must be measured using the original dropper in the bottle. The dropper is calibrated to dispense a measured and precise amount. Count the drops accurately and pour them onto a spoon.
