Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take this medication.
Children
Its use in children under 6 years old should be assessed, as although absorption is very low, it can cause dry skin and mouth, dilated pupils, urinary retention, increased heart rate, tremors, speech disorders, psychomotor hyperactivity, and somnolence.
Elderly patients (over 65 years old)
Its use in people over 65 years old should be assessed, as they are more sensitive to the adverse effects of this medication.
Using Neosayomol with other medications
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medication.
Do not use it with other medications on the same area of skin, or with those that are known to cause allergic reactions on the skin (photosensitivity and phototoxicity), without consulting your doctor.
Although significant absorption is not expected, part of this medication could pass into the bloodstream, so using this medication simultaneously with ototoxic medications (such as some antibiotics) may mask the sensation of dizziness and drowsiness.
Alcoholic beverages should not be consumed during treatment, as simultaneous use may increase the sedative effect.
The use of this medication in conjunction with anticholinergic medications (such as antiparkinsonian, some antidepressants, neuroleptics, and belladonna) and with a medication called metoprolol (to reduce blood pressure and heart disease) may increase adverse effects.
The use of this medication with sedative medications (opioid analgesics, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics) may cause somnolence.
