Salaclav Special Precautions

Talk to the doctor or nurse before taking SALACLAV: If glandular fever is present; If being treated for liver or kidney problems; If not passing water regularly.
If unsure, if any of the previously mentioned applies, talk to the doctor or nurse before taking SALACLAV. In some cases, the doctor may investigate the type of bacteria that is causing the infection. Depending on the results, the patient may be given a different strength of SALACLAV or a different medicine.
Conditions the patient needs to look out for: SALACLAV can make some existing conditions worse, or cause serious side effects. These include allergic reactions, convulsions (fits) and inflammation of the large intestine. The patient must look out for certain symptoms while they are given this medicine, to reduce the risk of any problems. See Conditions the patient needs to look out for under Side Effects.
Blood and urine tests: If having blood tests (such as red blood cell status tests or liver function tests) or urine tests (for glucose), let the doctor or nurse know that SALACLAV is being given. This is because SALACLAV can affect the results of these types of tests.
