1. What is Deflegmin KIDS syrup and what is it used for

Deflegmin KIDS syrup is a mucolytic medicine containing ambroxol hydrochloride. It increases the secretion of mucus in the airways and improves its transport, making it easier to cough up and relieving cough.
Deflegmin KIDS is used in acute and chronic lung and bronchial diseases with difficulty in coughing up viscous secretions from the airways.

2. Important information before taking Deflegmin KIDS syrup

When not to take Deflegmin KIDS syrup

  • if the patient is allergic to ambroxol hydrochloride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • directly before bedtime.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting to take Deflegmin KIDS, the patient should discuss it with their doctor or pharmacist:

  • if the patient has stomach or duodenal ulcers;
  • if the patient has liver or kidney function disorders;
  • if the cough reflex is weakened or there are disorders of ciliary clearance of the bronchi (there is a risk of secretions accumulating in the airways);
  • if the patient has bronchial asthma (Deflegmin KIDS may initially worsen cough).

Severe skin reactions associated with the use of ambroxol hydrochloride have been reported. If a rash occurs (including changes in mucous membranes, such as the mouth, throat, nose, eyes, genitals), the patient should stop taking Deflegmin KIDS and contact their doctor immediately.

Deflegmin KIDS syrup and other medicines

The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.

  • Ambroxol increases the concentration of antibiotics (amoxicillin, cefuroxime, erythromycin, doxycycline) in lung tissue.
  • Cough suppressants (e.g., codeine) weaken the effect of ambroxol by inhibiting the cough reflex and making it difficult to cough up liquefied mucus.
  • No interaction between ambroxol and other medicines has been demonstrated.

Deflegmin KIDS syrup with food and drink

Deflegmin KIDS syrup should be taken after meals.

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 taking this medicine.
