Product Introduction

Oxitres 600mg tablet contains Acetylcysteine as its active ingredient and belongs to the mucolytics agent class of medications. This medicine thins and loosens thick phlegm, facilitating easier expectoration and clearance from the respiratory system. It is used to treat airway diseases including bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchial tubes), emphysema (destruction and enlargement of the air sacs), mucoviscidosis (affecting the lungs and digestive system), and bronchiectasis (permanent widening and inflammation of the bronchial tubes). This medicine is indicated for use in adults and is not recommended in children under two years of age. Do not use Oxitres 600mg tablet if you are allergic to Acetylcysteine or any other ingredients, or if you have bronchial asthma. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor if you have breathing difficulties, a history of peptic ulcer, or follow a sodium-restricted diet, as this medicine contains sodium.
