It is irrational to combine an expectorant or a mucolytic with this antitussive medicine.
Before prescribing an antitussive, it is advisable to ensure that the underlying causes of the cough which required specific treatment, have been investigated.
If the cough does not respond to the antitussive treatment administered at the normal dosage, the dosage should not be increased but the clinical situation should be reassessed.
Mucolytic agents may induce severe bronchial congestion in infants. Their bronchial mucus drainage capacities are limited due to the physiological characteristics of their bronchial tree. Mucolytics should therefore not be used in infants.
Treatment should be re-evaluated if symptoms or the disease persist or worsen.
