Fluimucil/Fluimucil A Special Precautions

Each Fluimucil sachet of 100 mg contains the equivalent of 4.3 g of sucrose and each Fluimucil sachet of 200 mg contains the equivalent of 2.7 g of sucrose; this should be taken into account, eg in diabetic patients. The sulfur odour on opening the sachet does not indicate deterioration of the product; but it is due to the active ingredient.
Fluimucil/A can be administered concurrently with such antibiotics as amoxycillin, doxycillin, erythromycin and thiamphenicol. When other oral antibiotics or drugs are required, they should be administered 1-2 hrs apart from Fluimucil/A in order to avoid possible interaction with the thiol group.
Use in pregnancy: Observations in humans have thus far shown no indication of harm to the fetus during pregnancy. Experimental studies have revealed no signs of harm to the offspring. Nevertheless, as a general precaution for both mother and child, the use of any drug during pregnancy, especially in the 1st trimester should be considered only when strictly indicated.
Use in children: In newborns, acetylcysteine should be administered only in life-threatening situations, at a dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight and under strictest medical monitoring.
