Fluner Special Precautions

Fluner is not suited for aborting a migraine attack. The possible occurrence of an attack is therefore no reason to increase the dose of Fluner.
Fluner treatment may give rise to extrapyramidal and depressive symptoms and reveal parkinsonism especially in predisposed patients eg, the elderly. Fluner should therefore be used with caution in such patients.
Fluner should be used with care in patients with depression or those being prescribed other agents eg, phenothiazines, concurrently, which may cause extrapyramidal side effects.
Fatigue may increase progressively during Fluner therapy; in this event, therapy should be discontinued.
The recommended dose should not be exceeded. Patients should be seen at regular intervals, especially during maintenance treatment so that extrapyramidal or depressive symptoms may be detected early and if so, treatment discontinued. If during maintenance treatment the therapeutic effects subside, treatment should also be discontinued (see Dosage & Administration).
Effects on the Ability to Drive or Operate Machinery: Fluner may lead to drowsiness which is aggravated by the simultaneous intake of alcohol or other CNS depressants. Patients should be cautioned against driving motor vehicles or performing other potentially hazardous tasks where a loss of mental alertness may lead to accidents.
Use in pregnancy & lactation: Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been established.
