This medication contains an artificial sweetener called aspartame, so patients with phenylketonuria should avoid it. Do not use it if there is an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to any of the components of this medication. This drug is not for use during acute asthma attacks, so a separate fast-acting inhaler should be prepared for emergencies. Patients who are hypersensitive to aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be careful not to take these medications together while using this drug. It can be used by individuals from children to the elderly, but particular caution should be taken for children and pregnant women, following a doctor's guidance.
