Understanding Carbocisteine: Your Mucus-Busting Ally
Carbocisteine is a trusted mucolytic medication that has been helping Filipinos breathe easier by clearing stubborn phlegm from respiratory tract disorders. Whether you're dealing with a nasty cough from a cold, chronic bronchitis, or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), this medicine works directly on mucus to make it less sticky and easier to expel. It's a go-to expectorant recommended by doctors nationwide for productive cough relief.
How Carbocisteine Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your airways are clogged with thick, sticky mucus—like a drain blocked with grease. Carbocisteine acts like a powerful "degreaser"—it breaks down the chemical bonds in mucus proteins, making the phlegm thinner and more watery. This means:
- Easier coughing up of phlegm (less strain on your chest)
- Cleared airways for better oxygen flow
- Reduced bacterial trapping (thinner mucus = less breeding ground for germs)
- Faster relief from chest congestion and breathing difficulty

Mahalagang Impormasyon sa Tagalog
Carbocisteine: Ang Tagapagtanggal ng Plema
Ang Carbocisteine ay isang mucolytic na gamot na tumutulong sa mga Pilipino na huminga nang mas maayos sa pamamagitan ng pagluluwag ng matinding plema mula sa respiratory tract. Mula sa ubo dahil sa sipon, chronic bronchitis, o COPD, ang gamot na ito ay direktang tumutulong sa plema para gawin itong malabnaw at mas madaling ilabas.
Paano Gumagana ang Carbocisteine?
Isipin na ang iyong airways ay barado ng makapal at malagkit na plema—parang drain na barado ng grasa. Ang Carbocisteine ay parang "degreaser"—sinisira nito ang chemical bonds sa plema, ginagawa itong malabnaw. Resulta: mas madaling ubohen, malinis na daanan ng hangin, at mas mabilis na galing mula sa baradong dibdib.
Dosage Guide:
- Adults: Simula: 15mL syrup 3x isang araw o 1 capsule (500mg) 3x isang araw. Pag gumaling na: 10mL syrup 3x isang araw
