Introduction About METHONAC TABLET
METHONAC TABLET contains Acetylcysteine, which belongs to the group of medicines called Mucolytics. It is used in adults to manage acute airway diseases such as bronchitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane in the airways), emphysema, mucoviscidosis (cystic fibrosis), and/or bronchiectasis (chronic widening of the airway passage).
METHONAC TABLET is not recommended for use in patients allergic to Acetylcysteine. It is also not recommended for use in patients with bronchial asthma. Before taking METHONAC TABLET, inform your doctor if you have stomach ulcers, liver diseases (such as non-alcoholic fatty acid disease), or chronic kidney disease.
METHONAC TABLET should be used with caution by pregnant and breastfeeding women only if it is clearly necessary. This medicine is not recommended for use in children and adolescents (below 18 years) and is advised to be used with caution in elderly patients (aged above 60 years) after consulting your doctor.
