Gastrointestinal bleeding Cases of gastrointestinal bleeding have been reported with the use of carbocisteine. Caution is advised in the elderly, in patients with a history of gastroduodenal ulcers or in patients taking concomitant medications known to increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. In the event of gastrointestinal bleeding, the patient should discontinue treatment with carbocisteine. Asthmatic and debilitated patients Specific precautions are recommended in patients with severe respiratory insufficiency, in patients with asthma and with a history of bronchospasm, as well as in debilitated patients.

The use of antitussive drugs inhibits the cough reflex and increases the risk of airway obstruction, due to an increase in the accumulation of mucus in the airways.
