Answered by Dr. Sumit Bhatti (2 hours later)

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. Mucines DM contains gextropmethorphan and guaifenesin.

2. The elimination half life of both the ingredients is 3 to 4 hours.

3. So half a day or so will result in complete elimination of the medicine from the body.

4. You may inform your parents or a guardian if you suspect that there is any side effect or drug interaction bothering you.

I hope that I have answered your queries. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.

Regards.
