2. Before taking SOMAZINA 100 mg/ml ORAL SOLUTION

Do not takeSomazina

  • if you are allergic to acetylsalicylic acid, as it may cause asthma.

Other medicines and Somazina

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medicines, including those purchased without a prescription.

Somazina enhances the effects of L-Dopa, so it should not be administered at the same time as medicines containing L-Dopa, without consulting your doctor. Medicines containing L-Dopa are usually used to treat Parkinson's disease.

Somazina should not be administered together with medicines containing meclofenoxate, which is a brain stimulant.

Taking Somazina with food and drinks

Somazina can be taken with meals or outside of them.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine. Somazina, like most medicines, should not be administered if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or during breastfeeding, unless your doctor considers it necessary.

This medicine contains 2000 mg of sorbitol in each 10 ml of oral solution. Sorbitol is a source of fructose. If your doctor has indicated that you (or your child) suffer from an intolerance to certain sugars, or have been diagnosed with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), a rare genetic disease in which the patient cannot break down fructose, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

This medicine may cause allergic reactions because it contains cochineal red (Ponceau 4R, E-124). It may cause asthma, especially in patients allergic to acetylsalicylic acid.

It may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed) because it contains propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E-216) and methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E-218).

This medicine may cause stomach upset and diarrhea because it contains formaldehyde.

This medicine contains 61.4 mg of sodium (main component of table salt/cooking salt) in each 10 ml of oral solution. This is equivalent to 3% of the maximum daily sodium intake recommended for an adult.
