Q. What is Mucoscan Injection used for?
Mucoscan Injection is mainly used to treat paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose. It helps protect the liver from serious damage by breaking down harmful substances formed when too much paracetamol is taken.
Q. How soon should Mucoscan Injection be given after a paracetamol overdose?
For best results, Mucoscan Injection should be given as soon as possible—ideally within 8 hours of the overdose. It can still help if given up to 24 hours later, but the sooner it is given, the better the chances of preventing liver damage.
Q. How is Mucoscan Injection given?
Mucoscan Injection is usually given in a hospital through a drip (intravenous infusion) into a vein. The dose and duration depend on the amount of paracetamol taken and how long it has been since the overdose. The doctor will monitor closely during the treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
