This medication is indicated only for diagnostic use.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before using Veoplore.

Your doctor will assess whether you have any contraindications for undergoing a pulmonary function test or any disease that may pose a risk to you or interfere with the test.

During the test, you must follow the instructions given by the operator.

If you have a history of coronary artery disease, you may be at risk of ST segment depression (an abnormal electrocardiogram reading) caused by carbon monoxide.

During the test, there may be a slight increase in blood carboxyhemoglobin levels.

Inhaling carbon monoxide can cause symptoms of decreased oxygen supply, such as dizziness, chest pain, and disorientation. If any symptoms of this nature occur, you should immediately stop using this product and, if necessary, receive medical treatment.
