Warnings Fluibron Aerosol 20 vials 15 mg/2 ml
Mucolytics can induce bronchial obstruction in children younger than 2 years of age . In fact, the drainage capacity of the bronchial mucus is limited in this age range, due to the physiological characteristics of the respiratory tract. They should therefore not be used in children younger than 2 years of age. Since coughing from irritation can occur when inhaling aerosols too deeply, one should try to inhale and exhale normally during inhalation. In particularly sensitive patients, a pre-heating of the inhaled product to body temperature can be recommended.
For patients with bronchial asthma it is advisable to use a bronchial spasmolytic before inhalation. Fluibron should be administered with caution to patients with peptic ulcer disease. There have been reports of severe skin reactions such as erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) associated with the administration of ambroxol. If symptoms or signs of progressive skin rash (sometimes associated with blisters or mucosal lesions) are present, treatment with ambroxol should be discontinued immediately and a physician consulted. Most of these cases can be explained by the severity of the patient's underlying disease and/or concomitant therapy. Also, during the early stage of Stevens-Johnson syndrome or TEN, patients may experience nonspecific flu-like prodromes such as fever, body aches, rhinitis, cough, and sore throat.
Due to these misleading non-specific flu-like prodromes, symptomatic treatment with cough and cold medicines may be initiated. Therefore, if new lesions of the skin or mucous membranes appear, it is necessary to consult the doctor immediately and to interrupt the treatment with ambroxol hydrochloride as a precaution. In the presence of mild or moderate renal insufficiency, Fluibron should only be used after consulting your doctor. As with any medicinal product with hepatic metabolism followed by renal elimination, accumulation of ambroxol metabolites generated in the liver may occur in severe renal insufficiency.
