This medication should not be used in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This medication contains lactose, so patients with genetic issues such as lactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it. Patients with hyperthyroidism, hypertension, heart failure or arrhythmias, diabetes, and severe kidney disorders should use this medication with caution. This medication contains a dye called Yellow No. 5, and those allergic to this ingredient or who have exhibited hypersensitivity should be careful. During treatment, neurological symptoms such as headache, tremors, muscle rigidity, drowsiness, anxiety, dizziness, nervousness, insomnia, excitement, and numbness in the arms and legs may occur. Heart rate may increase or become irregular, and blood pressure may fluctuate or rise, so caution is advised. If symptoms of hypersensitivity such as rash, itching, angioedema, hives, bronchospasm, hypotension, and collapse occur, discontinue use immediately. Elevated liver function values, general malaise, and edema, as well as digestive disorders, can also occur as side effects. Excessive dosing may cause heart rhythm disturbances or heart attacks, so it is essential to adhere to the dosage instructions. If there is no effect, this medication may not be suitable, so it is advisable to stop taking it and consult a physician. Particularly, when administering to children, precise dosage instructions should be given, and their condition should be closely monitored. This medication may lower potassium levels in the blood, which can worsen conditions when taken with other medications; hence severe asthma patients should exercise caution. It should not be used in conjunction with sympathomimetics like epinephrine or isoproterenol, as this could lead to heart rhythm disturbances or the risk of myocardial infarction. Patients taking MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants should be cautious, as the vascular action of this medication may become stronger. It should not be taken with non-selective beta-blockers like propranolol. Patients taking a lot of other sympathomimetics should also be cautious when using this medication. In late pregnancy, animal tests have shown inhibited uterine contractions leading to delayed childbirth, and it can pass through the placenta and breast milk, so it should only be used when absolutely necessary during pregnancy, with extra caution especially in the first three months. Elderly patients may have reduced bodily functions, so they should use it carefully, possibly with a reduced dose. Symptoms of overdose usually resolve upon discontinuation of the medication, but a cardiac-selective beta-blocker can be used as an antidote, although caution is needed for patients with a history of bronchospasm. In rare cases, allergic rashes may occur if the dosage of ambroxol hydrochloride in this medication changes, and systemic allergic reactions may occur in some individuals with peculiar body types.
