Furthermore, it should not be used in patients who have allergic reactions to this medication or its components. For patients with liver cirrhosis or certain enzyme deficiencies, the metabolites of this medication may interfere with methionine metabolism in the body, so it should not be administered. Patients with peptic ulcers, severe renal impairment, or severe hepatic dysfunction should not use this medication. Since this medication contains lactose, it is safer to avoid administration in patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Patients with mild to moderate liver dysfunction should use this medication cautiously and should not exceed 300mg per day. Patients with diabetes or on a low-calorie diet should exercise caution, especially when using the syrup form. Overdosage of this medication may cause symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, and facial flushing. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as headache, cold symptoms, difficulty breathing, taste disturbances, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and heartburn, as well as skin rashes or itching, may also occur. Caution is advised when used alongside cough medications, as this may make it difficult to expel mucus from the bronchi and increase the risk of bronchial infections. It is advisable for pregnant or potentially pregnant women, and nursing mothers not to use this medication due to insufficient confirmation of its safety. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and transferring it to other containers should be avoided as it may lead to accidents and deterioration of quality.
