Warnings
Mucolytics can induce bronchial obstruction in children under 2 years of age. In fact, the capacity to drain bronchial mucus is limited in this age group, due to the physiological characteristics of the airways. They should therefore not be used in children under 2 years of age. The increase in sputum, which is observed from the first days and demonstrates the lysis of pathological secretions, rapidly subsides. Contains sucrose. There are no particular precautions for use in the various pharmaceutical forms.
Contraindications
Children under 2 years of age. Gastrointestinal ulcer. Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
Undesirable effects
Digestive phenomena may occur: gastralgia, nausea, dizziness, diarrhea. In this case, it is necessary to reduce the dosage. Bronchial obstruction: frequency unknown.
Overdose
No cases of acute carbocisteine poisoning have ever been reported. Symptoms may affect the gastrointestinal tract. Removal of the toxicant: induce vomiting and possibly perform gastric lavage.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
