Special warnings

Ambroxol should be administered with caution to patients with peptic ulcer. There have been reports of severe skin reactions such as erythema multiforme, Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS) / toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) associated with the administration of ambroxol. Most of these could be explained by the severity of underlying disease or other concomitant medications. Also in the early stage of Stevens Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis (NET), patients may initially experience non-specific flu-like symptoms, such as fever, chills, rhinitis, cough and sore throat. Due to these misleading symptoms it is possible that symptomatic treatment with cough and cold therapy may be undertaken. If symptoms or signs of progressive skin rash (sometimes associated with blistering or mucosal lesions) are present, treatment with ambroxol should be stopped immediately and the doctor consulted. If new lesions of the skin or mucous membranes occur, consult your doctor immediately and precautionary discontinue treatment with ambroxol hydrochloride. In case of mild or moderate renal insufficiency, Ambroxol Angenerico can only be used after consulting your doctor. As with any drug metabolised by the liver and eliminated by the kidney, accumulation of the metabolites of ambroxol generated in the liver can occur in the presence of severe renal insufficiency.

Mucolytics can induce bronchial obstruction in children less than 2 years of age. In fact, the drainage capacity of the bronchial mucus is limited in this age group, due to the physiological characteristics of the respiratory tract. They should therefore not be used in children under 2 years of age.
