Dosage Regimen

The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen.

For adults, administer a single dose of 40 mg orally 2-3 times/day to suppress cough. To control severe night cough, administer a single dose of 80 mg at bedtime. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose of 200 mg.

For children over 4 years of age, administer a single dose of 10 mg orally 2-3 times/day. Administer all doses after meals to improve tolerability.

Adverse Reactions

Adverse reactions are infrequent and typically associated with higher doses. Dizziness, weakness, nausea, and decreased blood pressure may occur, particularly after a single 80 mg dose.

Monitor for potential allergic reactions. Discontinue use if severe adverse reactions develop.

Contraindications

Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or any excipient.
Contraindicated in arterial hypotension and in the acute phase of myocardial infarction due to adrenolytic properties.
Avoid use in conditions with significant hypersecretion of sputum where cough suppression is undesirable.

Pediatric Use

Not recommended for use in children under 4 years of age.

Special Precautions

Not recommended for use in children under 4 years of age.

Drug Interactions

This agent can be administered in combination with ephedrine hydrochloride, citric acid, and basil oil amber without known significant pharmacokinetic interactions.

Exercise caution with concomitant use of other centrally acting drugs or antihypertensive agents due to potential additive effects on blood pressure and the central nervous system.
