Carbocisteine is a synthetic derivative of cysteine. Its mechanism of action as a mucolytic agent is based on its ability to induce mucus thinning by preventing the formation of the mucin fibril network, an important structural component of mucus . In fact, carbocisteine restores the balance between sialomucins and fucomucins by stimulating the intracellular activity of sialyltransferase , restoring the viscoelastic properties of mucus. Mucolytic expectorants decrease the viscosity of respiratory secretions, facilitating their elimination. Carbocisteine increases chloride transport across the airway epithelium, contributing to its mucoregulatory action.

INDICATION

Mucomucil ® is a mucolytic , indicated for horses that present respiratory pathologies characterized by the presence of mucoid and mucopurulent secretions.

HOW TO USE

To be used orally.

• Horses: basic dose of L- Carbocisteine : 5-10 mg/kg of body weight, twice a day. This dosage can be represented as 2.5-5.0 mL of Mucomucil syrup for every 100 kg of body weight, twice a day. The duration of treatment depends on factors related to the pathology and can vary from 5 to 15 days. Dosages may be changed according to the veterinarian's guidance.
