Precautions for use and contraindications of Phytotux syrup
This syrup should not be administered to a child under 6 years of age.
You should never take Phytotux syrup if you are allergic to the active substances or to any of the other components it contains, in particular to thyme or plants of the Lamiaceae family, or to benzoic acid.
Emetine is present in this syrup, which contraindicates it in people with kidney, liver or gastrointestinal damage, skeletal myopathies or heart disease.

You should seek advice from your pharmacist or doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you think you may be pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant. In the absence of sufficient data, it is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should seek advice from your doctor before taking any medication.

This syrup is formulated with 3.08 g of sorbitol per 5 mL dose and 9.24 g per 15 mL dose.

If you have been informed by your doctor that you or your child is intolerant to certain sugars, or if you have been diagnosed with HFI, Hereditary Fructose Intolerance, talk to your doctor before taking or giving your child this syrup. Sorbitol is a source of fructose.
This compound may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and a mild laxative effect.

Phytotux includes 2.25% vol of ethanol (alcohol). A 5 ml dose contains up to 89 mg, which is equivalent to 3 ml of beer, 1 ml of wine. A 15 mL dose contains up to 266 mg, which is equivalent to 7 mL of beer, 3 mL of wine. It is therefore dangerous if used by alcoholics. The presence of alcohol should be taken into account in pregnant or breastfeeding women, children and high-risk groups, for example people with liver failure or epilepsy.

Therapeutic behavior should be reassessed in the event of fatty and purulent sputum, in the event of fever or chronic disease of the bronchi and lungs.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicines you are currently or recently using, even if they are obtained without a prescription.
