1. What is Acodin Duo and what is it used for

Acodin Duo is available as a syrup and contains the active substances: dextromethorphan hydrobromide and dexpanthenol.
Dextromethorphan acts as an antitussive, inhibiting the cough reflex by directly acting on the central nervous system. At the recommended doses, it does not have a depressant effect on the respiratory tract's ciliary function (structure responsible for transporting secreted mucus).
Dexpanthenol plays an essential role in metabolism, including the regeneration of mucous membranes in the respiratory tract.
Acodin Duo is used for the symptomatic treatment of dry cough of various origins (not associated with secretions in the respiratory tract).

2. Important information before taking Acodin Duo

This medicine should always be used exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist and in accordance with the instructions in this patient leaflet. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Cases of abuse of this medicine have been reported, including by children and adolescents.
Taking this medicine can lead to dependence. Therefore, treatment should be short-term.

When not to take Acodin Duo:

  • if the patient is allergic to dextromethorphan, dexpanthenol, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • if the patient is taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (some medicines used for depression, Parkinson's disease) at the same time or has taken them within the last 14 days (see also the section "Acodin Duo and other medicines").
  • if the patient has respiratory failure or is at risk of its occurrence.
  • if the patient has asthma.

Warnings and precautions

Before taking Acodin Duo, you should talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse:

  • if the patient is taking certain antidepressant or antipsychotic medicines, Acodin Duo may interact with them, causing changes in mental status (e.g., excitement, hallucinations, coma) and other symptoms, such as body temperature above 38°C, increased heart rate, unstable blood pressure, and exaggerated reflexes, muscle stiffness, lack of coordination, and (or) gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea).

Dextromethorphan, the active substance of Acodin Duo, has addictive properties. Do not exceed the recommended treatment duration, as tolerance to dextromethorphan may develop, as well as psychological and physical dependence. Particular caution is advised when using this product in adolescents and young adults, as well as in individuals with a history of drug or psychoactive substance abuse.

  • The medicine suppresses cough but does not eliminate its cause. If the cough does not subside within 7 days or the disease is accompanied by fever, headache, or rash, you should contact your doctor.
  • Do not use in patients with respiratory diseases associated with increased mucus production, such as bronchitis.
  • In patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency, the dose of the medicine should be reduced or the intervals between doses increased.
  • Dextromethorphan enhances the inhibitory effect of alcohol on the central nervous system (see the section "Acodin Duo with food, drinks, and alcohol").

Acodin Duo and other medicines

You should tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is currently taking or has recently taken, as well as any medicines the patient plans to take.
Acodin Duo should not be used at the same time as the following medicines:

  • monoamine oxidase inhibitors (some medicines used for depression, Parkinson's disease, such as iproniazid, selegiline, moclobemide), as well as within 14 days after stopping treatment with such medicines, as the risk of serotonin syndrome (a condition caused by excessive serotonin in the brain) increases. Concomitant use of these medicines may cause symptoms from the central nervous system (dizziness, excitement, significant elevation of body temperature, nausea, muscle tremors, elevated blood pressure).

Concomitant use of Acodin Duo and medicines that inhibit the CYP2D6 enzyme, which is responsible for the metabolism of dextromethorphan, may lead to increased dextromethorphan concentrations. These medicines include fluoxetine, paroxetine, quinidine, and terbinafine, amiodarone, flecainide, propafenone, sertraline, bupropion, methadone, cinacalcet, haloperidol, perphenazine, and thioridazine.
As a result, symptoms of overdose have been observed.

Acodin Duo with food, drinks, and alcohol

Acodin Duo syrup can be taken with or without food.
You should not drink alcoholic beverages while taking dextromethorphan. Dextromethorphan enhances the inhibitory effect of alcohol on the central nervous system.

Using Acodin Duo in children

Acodin Duo is not intended for use in children under 12 years of age. For patients between 6 and 12 years old, Acodin 150 Junior is available.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine. This medicine should not be used in breastfeeding women.

Driving and using machines

At therapeutic doses, the medicine does not cause impairment of psychophysical abilities, the ability to drive vehicles, or operate machinery. When used in doses higher than recommended, it has an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system.

Acodin Duo contains sucrose and sodium benzoate

5 ml of syrup contains 2.625 g of sucrose. This should be taken into account in patients with diabetes.
If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to some sugars, they should consult their doctor before taking the medicine.
The medicine contains 12.5 mg of sodium benzoate in 5 ml of syrup.
