Mivina Capsule

Mivina Capsule belongs to the class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner), primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), such as coughing, wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), and shortness of breath. COPD is a group of lung diseases that mainly include emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).

Mivina Capsule consists of two mucolytic agents: Acetylcysteine and Ambroxol. Mivina Capsule works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nasal passage. Ambroxol is also an 'expectorant' that promotes the secretion of sputum/cough by air passages. Thus, Mivina Capsule makes sputum less viscous and promotes easier breathing. 

Take Mivina Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage and duration will be suggested by your doctor based on your medical condition. Some people may experience common side effects like nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, stomach pain, and fever. These side effects, if occurred, generally go away during the treatment. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Mivina Capsule or other medicines. It is mandatory to inform your doctor if you have any heart, liver, or kidney diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, stomach ulcers, asthma, and diabetes before taking Mivina Capsule. Mivina Capsule is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Mivina Capsule is not recommended in children below 14 years of age. Avoid or limit alcohol consumption while using Mivina Capsule to prevent any unwanted effects. 

Mivina Capsule is a combination of two respiratory medications that contains Acetylcysteine and Ambroxol. It prevents and treats symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Acetylcysteine and Ambroxol are mucolytic agents that help in thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nose to cough out easily and provide relief from respiratory problems like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Ambroxol is also an expectorant that promotion the secretion of sputum by the air passages. In its injection form, acetylcysteine works as an antidote in paracetamol overdose and restores the body's glutathione (antioxidant produced in cells), a chemical that eliminates toxic substances from the body.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to medicines. Please inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, stomach ulcers, asthma, and diabetes before taking Mivina Capsule. Ambroxol in Mivina Capsule disrupts the gastro mucosal barrier; hence Mivina Capsule should be cautiously administered in patients with a stomach ulcer. It is advised to avoid Mivina Capsule during pregnancy to prevent any harmful effects on the foetus. Mivina Capsule can be excreted into breast milk. Hence, it is not recommended to use Mivina Capsule during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Avoid consuming alcohol with Mivina Capsule as it could lead to any unwanted effects. Mivina Capsule is not recommended for children less than 14 years of age. 

• Mivina Capsule does not relieve sudden asthma symptoms, so it is advised always to carry a rescue inhaler to treat sudden asthma symptoms.
• Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels and blood pressure.
