Special warnings Fluimucil Mucolitoco 600 mg/15 ml
Patients suffering from bronchial asthma must be closely monitored during therapy, if bronchospasm appears the treatment must be stopped immediately. Mucolytics can induce bronchial obstruction in children younger than 2 years. 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.
The use of the medicine in patients suffering from peptic ulcer or with a history of peptic ulcer requires particular attention, especially in the case of simultaneous intake of other drugs with a known gastrolesive effect. The possible presence of a sulfurous odor does not indicate alteration of the preparation but is typical of the active principle contained in it. The administration of N-acetylcysteine, especially at the beginning of the treatment, can thin the bronchial secretions and at the same time increase their volume.
If the patient is unable to expectorate effectively, postural drainage and bronchoaspiration must be used to avoid retention of secretions.
