Patients with impaired kidney or liver function
If you have impaired kidney function or severe liver disease, you
must not take SOLVAMUC cough syrup 30 mg/5 ml except on
medical advice. With ambroxol, as with any medicine which is
broken down in the liver and then eliminated via the kidneys,
accumulation of the breakdown products (metabolites) of ambroxol
which are formed in the liver can be expected to occur in patients
with severely impaired kidney function.
In some rare bronchial diseases which are associated with
excessive accumulation of secretions (such as primary ciliary
dyskinesia), SOLVAMUC cough syrup 30 mg/5 ml should only be used
under medical supervision because of the risk that secretions may
accumulate.
Children

under 2 years of age except on medical advice.

If SOLVAMUC is used in combination with antitussives in patients with
pre-existing respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis or
bronchiectasis who are affected by mucus hypersecretion, a
reduced cough reflex may lead to (serious) accumulation of mucus.
