This medication helps dissolve mucus and facilitates the expulsion of phlegm in acute and chronic respiratory diseases. It is effective for those who experience discomfort due to frequent coughing or excessive phlegm. By softening the mucus, expulsion becomes smoother, resulting in easier breathing. This drug supports respiratory health and is used to relieve symptoms.

How to take

Precautions

This medication should not be used in certain patients. People who are allergic to this drug or its components should not take it. Patients with liver cirrhosis or those with deficiencies in certain enzymes should avoid this medication, as its metabolites may be harmful. Patients with gastric ulcers should also avoid this drug as it may worsen their symptoms. Patients with severely impaired kidney function or severely impaired liver function should not take this medication.

Patients with diabetes or those on a low-calorie diet should exercise particular caution when taking this medication in syrup form.

Overdosing on this medication can lead to excessive sweating, dizziness, and facial flushing. Neurological and respiratory symptoms such as headaches, cold symptoms, and dyspnea may occur. Gastrointestinal disturbances may include altered taste, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and heartburn. Skin reactions such as hives, rashes, and dermatitis may also occur. Additionally, fatigue, dyspepsia, palpitations, and facial swelling have been reported as various side effects. When taken with expectorants, the relief of cough may hinder the expulsion of phlegm from the bronchial tubes, potentially increasing the risk of bronchial infections and causing bronchospasms; therefore, caution is advised when taking these together. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid this medication as its safety is not well-established. Women who may become pregnant are also advised to avoid taking this medication.
