Overview

Mucolexin Syrup is a syrup with Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 60ml.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.

Directions for Use

Shake the bottle well before each use and measure the dose using the measuring cup or spoon supplied with the product rather than an ordinary kitchen spoon. Mucolexin Syrup can be taken with or without food, and the dose should be spaced according to the interval stated on the label; avoid taking other cough, cold, or flu products at the same time unless a pharmacist confirms there is no duplication of dextromethorphan or other overlapping ingredients.

Dosage

Dosing depends on age and should follow the instructions on the product label, as dextromethorphan-containing syrups are generally not recommended for very young children without a doctor’s advice. Adults and older children are typically given a measured dose every 6 to 8 hours as needed, without exceeding the maximum daily amount stated on the packaging, and the syrup should not be used for longer than about a week without medical review if the cough has not improved.

Shelf Life

Mucolexin Syrup remains effective until the expiry date printed on the bottle and outer carton when stored correctly and unopened. Once opened, check the label or ask your pharmacist for the recommended in-use period, and discard any syrup that has changed in colour, smell, or consistency even before the printed expiry date.

Storage Instructions

Store Mucolexin Syrup below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep the bottle tightly closed between uses. Do not freeze, and always keep the syrup out of the reach and sight of children.

Side Effects

  • Drowsiness or dizziness
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Stomach discomfort
  • Mild confusion (especially at high doses)
  • Dry mouth

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to dextromethorphan or any other ingredient in the syrup
  • Use together with, or within about two weeks of, monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) medicines, due to the risk of a serious interaction
  • A cough that is productive (bringing up phlegm), chronic, or associated with asthma, emphysema, or heavy smoking, unless directed by a doctor
  • Children under the age stated on the product label, without medical advice
  • Significant liver impairment, which may affect how the medicine is processed by the body

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), which can cause a dangerous interaction including high fever, agitation, and rapid changes in blood pressure
  • Certain antidepressants (such as SSRIs), which combined with dextromethorphan can rarely lead to serotonin syndrome
  • Other cough, cold, or flu products containing dextromethorphan, which can lead to accidental overdose if taken together
  • Alcohol or sedating medicines, which may add to any mild drowsiness

Quick Tips

  • Check the labels of any other cough or cold medicines before combining them, to avoid taking double doses of dextromethorphan
  • Use for a dry, tickly cough rather than a chesty, phlegmy one
  • Stay well hydrated and consider warm fluids or honey (for those over 1 year old) to soothe throat irritation alongside the syrup
  • Avoid driving or operating machinery if you notice drowsiness
  • See a doctor if the cough lasts more than about a week, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, breathlessness, or chest pain

  • Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (active ingredient, concentration as stated on the product label)

Relevant Information

Mucolexin Syrup is a non-prescription cough suppressant intended specifically for dry, irritating cough, and it should not be relied upon to treat a chesty cough with thick phlegm, since it does not loosen or help clear mucus; a pharmacist can help confirm whether a suppressant like dextromethorphan or a different type of cough medicine is more appropriate for your symptoms.
