1. What is Flegamina Baby and what is it used for
Flegamina Baby contains the active substance bromhexine hydrochloride, which is an expectorant, making it easier to cough up mucus from the airways. The medicine facilitates coughing up and clearing the bronchi.
The indication for use of Flegamina Baby is acute and chronic respiratory diseases with impaired coughing up and removal of mucus.
Flegamina Baby is intended for use in children from 2 to 6 years old.
Flegamina Baby should not be used without medical supervision for more than 3 to 5 days.
2. Important information before using Flegamina Baby
When not to use Flegamina Baby:
- if the patient is allergic to bromhexine hydrochloride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- in children under 2 years of age.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting to use Flegamina Baby, discuss it with a doctor or pharmacist:
- if the patient has inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract with accompanying bacterial infection, as Flegamina Baby should then be used simultaneously with antibiotics and bronchodilators prescribed by a doctor.
- if the patient has a fever, it is also important to ensure proper hydration of the patient. Adequate hydration of the body increases the thinning of bronchial secretions and facilitates coughing up.
- if the patient currently has or has had stomach or duodenal ulcers in the past, as the medicine may exacerbate its symptoms.
- if the patient has severe liver or kidney function disorders.
Severe skin reactions associated with the use of bromhexine hydrochloride have been reported.
If a rash appears (including changes in mucous membranes, e.g. mouth, throat, nose, eyes, genitals), discontinue use of Flegamina Baby and contact a doctor immediately.
Flegamina Baby and other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is taking or has recently taken, as well as any medicines the patient plans to take, including those available without a prescription.
Bromhexine should be used with caution with atropine and other anticholinergic medicines, as they cause dryness of the mucous membranes.
Bromhexine should not be used simultaneously with cough suppressants (e.g. containing codeine and its derivatives), as they may weaken the cough reflex and cause secretions to accumulate in the airways.
Bromhexine may enhance the irritating effect of salicylates and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract.
Concomitant use of Flegamina Baby with antibiotics (oxytetracycline, erythromycin, ampicillin, doxycycline, cefuroxime, amoxicillin) increases their concentration in lung tissue.
