Tell the doctor or pharmacist if the patient is taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
Acetylcysteine/antitussives: When MENTOPIN Acetylcysteine 600 is used in combination with cough suppressants (antitussives), the reduced cough reflex may lead to dangerous stasis of secretions. Particular caution should therefore be exercised when using this combination. Therefore, be sure to consult the doctor prior to combined use.
Acetylcysteine/antibiotics: There is evidence from experimental studies to suggest that Acetylcysteine decreases the effect of antibiotics (tetracycline, aminoglycosides, penicillins). For safety considerations, antibiotics should therefore be taken separately and at least two hours apart from Acetylcysteine.
