In fact, cough is a symptom and the causal pathology should be studied and treated. \u003ci\u003ePediatric population\u003c\/i\u003e Do not administer to children under 2 years of age (see section 4.3). \u003cu\u003eMethod of administration\u003c\/u\u003e The package includes a measuring cup with notches corresponding to 3, 5 and 10 ml.

In any case, in light of the evidence that sensitivity to various drugs is altered in the elderly, special caution should be used when levodropropizine is administered to elderly patients. It is advisable to use caution in patients with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance below 35 ml\/min). It is also advisable to use caution in case of simultaneous intake of sedative drugs in particularly sensitive individuals (see 4.5). This medicine contains 4 g of sucrose per dose (10 ml). To be taken into consideration in people suffering from diabetes mellitus. Patients suffering from rare hereditary problems of fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption, or sucrase isomaltase insufficiency should not take this medicine. This medicine contains methyl parahydroxybenzoate and propyl parahydroxybenzoate which may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed). This medicinal product contains 22.5 mg of propylene glycol per dose (10 ml), equivalent to 2.25 mg\/ml. This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) sodium per single 10 ml dose, i.e. essentially sodium-free. This medicinal product contains 41 mg sodium per 20 ml daily dose (10 ml twice a day in the adult dosage), equivalent to 2% of the WHO recommended maximum daily intake of 2 g sodium for an adult. This medicinal product contains 62 mg sodium per maximum daily dose of 30 ml (10 ml 3 times during the day in the adult dosage), equivalent to 3% of the maximum daily intake recommended by WHO which corresponds to 2 g sodium for an adult. Antitussive drugs are symptomatic and should only be used while awaiting diagnosis of the underlying cause and\/or the effect of therapy on the underlying pathology. In the absence of information on the effect of food intake on the absorption of the drug, it is advisable to take the drug between meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTERACTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnimal pharmacology studies have shown that levodropropizine does not enhance the pharmacological effect of substances active on the central nervous system (e.g. benzodiazepines, alcohol, phenytoin, imipramine). In animals, the product does not modify the activity of oral anticoagulants, such as warfarin, nor does it interfere with the hypoglycemic action of insulin. In human pharmacology studies, the association with benzodiazepine does not modify the EEG picture. However, it is necessary to use caution in case of simultaneous intake of sedative drugs in particularly sensitive individuals (see 4.4). Clinical studies show no interaction with drugs used in the treatment of bronchopulmonary diseases such as β\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e-agonists, methylxanthines and derivatives, corticosteroids, antibiotics, mucoregulators and antihistamines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE EFFECTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring treatment with levodropropizine palpitations, tachycardia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, erythema may occur. Reactions reported as serious are urticaria and anaphylactic reaction. Most of the reactions that occur following the intake of levodropropizine are not serious and the symptoms resolve with the suspension of therapy and, in some cases, with specific pharmacological treatment. The adverse reactions encountered (incidence unknown) are as follows: \u003cb\u003eEye pathologies\u003c\/b\u003e: Mydriasis, bilateral blindness. \u003cb\u003eImmune system disorders\u003c\/b\u003e: Allergic and anaphylactoid reactions, eyelid edema, angioneurotic edema, urticaria. \u003cb\u003ePsychiatric disorders\u003c\/b\u003e: Nervousness, drowsiness, personality change or personality disorder. \u003cb\u003eNervous system disorders:\u003c\/b\u003e Syncope, dizziness, vertigo, tremors, paraesthesia, tonic-clonic convulsion and petit mal attack, hypoglycaemic coma. \u003cb\u003eCardiac diseases\u003c\/b\u003e: Palpitations, tachycardia, atrial bigeminy. \u003cb\u003eVascular pathologies\u003c\/b\u003e: Hypotension. \u003cb\u003eRespiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders:\u003c\/b\u003e Dyspnea, cough, respiratory tract edema. \u003cb\u003eGastrointestinal disorders\u003c\/b\u003e: Gastric pain, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea. \u003cb\u003e Hepatobiliary disorders\u003c\/b\u003e: Cholestatic hepatitis. \u003cb\u003ePathologies of the skin and subcutaneous tissue\u003c\/b\u003e: Urticaria, erythema, exanthema, pruritus, angioedema, skin reactions, glossitis and aphthous stomatitis.

The symptoms appeared after feeding and resolved spontaneously by suspending breastfeeding for a few feedings. \u003cb\u003eReporting of suspected adverse reactions\u003c\/b\u003e Reporting suspected adverse reactions that occur after authorization of the medicine is important, as it allows continuous monitoring of the benefit\/risk balance of the medicine.

There are known cases of overdose in children aged between 2 and 4 years. These are cases of accidental overdose, all resolved without consequences. In most cases, patients experienced abdominal pain and vomiting and in one case, after taking 600 mg of levodropropizine, the patient experienced excessive sleep and decreased oxygen saturation. In case of overdose with evident clinical manifestations, immediately institute symptomatic therapy and apply the usual emergency measures (gastric lavage, activated charcoal meal, parenteral administration of liquid, etc.), if appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeratogenicity, reproduction and fertility studies as well as peri- and post-natal studies did not reveal specific toxic effects. However, since in toxicological studies in animals at a dose of 24 mg\/kg a slight delay in body weight gain and growth was observed and since levodropropizine is able to cross the placental barrier in rats, the use of the drug is contraindicated in women who intend to become or are already pregnant as its safety of use is not documented (see 4.3). Studies in rats indicate that the drug is found in breast milk for up to 8 hours after administration. Therefore, the use of the drug during breastfeeding is contraindicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEFFECTS ON DRIVING ABILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo studies on the effects on the ability to drive and\/or use machines have been performed.
