Toselix Forte and Other Medications
You should avoid taking Toselix Forte and expectorant medications (which increase mucus production) at the same time. This may cause mucus to accumulate in the airways, increasing the risk of bronchospasm and respiratory tract infections.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, you should ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medication.
You should avoid taking Toselix Forte during the first trimester of pregnancy. In the other months of pregnancy and during breastfeeding, Toselix Forte may only be taken if absolutely necessary and after consulting a doctor.
