    The 20% solution may be diluted to a lesser concentration with either Sodium Chloride for injection, Sodium Chloride for

    inhalation, sterile water for injection, or sterile water for inhalation.

    Adult: 5-10 ml of 10% or 20% solution by Nebuliser every 6-8 hr PRN.

    Children: 1-11 months: 1-2 ml of 20% or 2-4 ml of 10% solution by Nebuliser every 6-8 hr PRN.

    300 ml during a single treatment period. If a tent or croupette must be used, the recommended dose is the volume of acetylcysteine

    the routine nursing care of patients with tracheostomy, 1-2 ml of a 20% solution may be given every 1-4 hours by instillation into

    the tracheostomy.

    Contra-indication: Known hypersensitivity to Acetylcysteine. Acetylcysteine contains aspartame, thus it is contra-indicated in

    the treatment must immediately be suspended. Caution should be taken in patients suffering from or with a history of peptic ulcer.

    As Viscotin contains sodium (156.9mg per dose) this has to be taken into consideration by patients on a controlled sodium diet.

    ingredient contained in this preparation. It is preferable not to mix other drugs with the Viscotin solution.

    Side effects: Like all medicines, Acetylcysteine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. In very rare cases,

    severe immune reactions may occur such as anaphylactic shock and severe skin reaction. In rare cases the oral administration can

    be followed by shortness of breath, upset stomach and bronchospasm. The most frequent side effects are headache, increased heart

    rate, stomatitis, pruritus, urticaria, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, decrease in the blood pressure, diarrhoea and
