Contraindications:
Do not use in individuals allergic to active substances, other opioids, or plants of the Apiaceae/Umbelliferae family (anise, caraway, celery, coriander, and dill), or anethole, or any other ingredients. Contraindications include asthma, acute respiratory failure, chronic constipation, risk of paralytic ileus, respiratory diseases with thick bronchial secretions, impaired breathing, opioid or drug dependence, rapid metabolism of codeine to morphine, and severe liver disorders.
Due to the ethanol content, the syrup should not be used in liver damage, alcoholism, epilepsy, brain damage, and mental disorders.
Avoid use in patients with increased intracranial pressure or head injury.
Additional Information:
Patients with kidney failure, thyroid overactivity, abdominal pain, prostate enlargement, bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, seizures, head injuries, or after gastrointestinal or urogenital surgery should consult a doctor before use.
Opioids, including codeine, may cause bile duct spasm, so avoid use in bile duct disorders. They may also stimulate the release of endogenous histamine in chromaffin tumors.
Codeine is transformed into morphine in the liver, and variations in this process may affect the drug’s action.
Prolonged use, especially in high doses, may lead to dependence. Use for more than 7 days is not recommended.
