Doctor consultation

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before taking Biodramina Infantil

Do not take Biodramina Infantil if:

  • You are allergic (hypersensitive) to dimenhydrinate, diphenhydramine, or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • You have porphyria (a rare, usually hereditary disorder in which large amounts of porphyrin are eliminated in feces and urine).
  • You have asthma attacks.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Biodramina Infantil:

  • If you have asthma, severe respiratory diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, chronic bronchitis), as it may cause thickening of secretions and alter expectoration.
  • If you have a disease that causes abnormal increased activity of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), increased intraocular pressure (glaucoma), prostate enlargement (prostatic hypertrophy), hypertension, or any disease that causes obstruction of the urinary or gastrointestinal tract.
  • If you have seizures with convulsive movements, with or without loss of consciousness (epilepsy).
  • If you are over 65 years old, dry mouth, urinary retention, nausea, sedation, confusion, and low blood pressure (hypotension) may occur.
  • If you are taking any medication that can cause ear toxicity, as symptoms of these toxic effects, such as ringing in the ears, dizziness, or vertigo, may be masked.
  • If you have any liver or kidney disease, stomach or duodenal ulcer, or stomach inflammation (gastritis), you should consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
  • If you have or have had heart diseases (cardiac arrhythmia).
  • If you suspect you may have symptoms of appendicitis, such as nausea, vomiting, or abdominal cramps, it is recommended to consult a doctor to rule out the presence or absence of appendicitis, as dimenhydrinate may make it difficult to diagnose this disease.

Cross-sensitivity (allergy) may occur with other antihistamines.

Sedation or drowsiness may occur in some patients.

It is recommended to avoid exposure to high temperatures and follow adequate hygiene and dietary measures, such as proper ventilation and hydration.

Avoid exposure to the sun (even on cloudy days) and ultraviolet radiation lamps (UVA rays) while taking this medicine.

Children

Do not use this medicine in children under 2 years old.

Other medicines and Biodramina Infantil

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medicine.

In particular, if you are taking any of the following medicines, it may be necessary to modify the dose of Biodramina Infantil or not take it:

  • Substances with a depressant effect on the central nervous system, such as anesthetics, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, opioid analgesics, as dimenhydrinate may enhance their sedative effect.
  • Aminoglycoside antibiotics and other medicines that can cause ear toxicity (see "Warnings and precautions" section).
  • Tricyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), antiparkinsonian agents, neuroleptics (for treating schizophrenia), as dimenhydrinate may enhance the adverse effects of these medicines. Gastrointestinal symptoms should be monitored, as paralytic ileus (absence of intestinal movements) may occur.
  • Medicines that can cause photosensitivity (skin reactions due to sensitivity to sunlight).

Interference with diagnostic tests

If you are going to undergo an allergy test, including skin tests, it is recommended to stop treatment 72 hours before starting the test to avoid altering the results.

Taking Biodramina Infantil with food, drinks, and alcohol

Alcohol consumption is not recommended during the time you are taking this medicine.

This medicine is intended exclusively for administration in children.

Taking medicines during pregnancy can be hazardous to the embryo or fetus and should be monitored by your doctor.
