Precautions and warnings

Because Butamirate Citrate suppresses the cough reflex, it should not be used in conjunction with expectorants, as this may cause mucus retention in the airways, increasing the risk of bronchospasm and respiratory infections. A doctor should be examined if the cough lasts longer than 7 days (or more than 3 days in children under the age of 12).

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.
