2. Before taking SOMAZINA 1000 mg ORAL SOLUTION

Children

Somazina has not been adequately studied in children, so it should only be administered if your doctor considers it necessary.

Do not takeSomazina

  • if you are allergic to citicolina or any of the other components of Somazina.
  • if you have parasympathetic nervous system hypertonia, which is a severe condition with low blood pressure, sweating, tachycardia, and fainting.

Be careful with Somazina

  • 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.

Driving and using machines

No effects on the ability to drive and use machinery have been observed.

Somazina contains sorbitol (E-420), cochineal red (Ponceau 4R, E-124), propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E-216), methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E-218), formaldehyde, and sodium

This medicine contains 2000 mg of sorbitol in each sachet. Sorbitol is a source of fructose. If your doctor has told you (or your child) that you suffer from an intolerance to certain sugars, or you 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 A (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.
