Dosage and administration.

Always use this medicine exactly as described in the leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Adults

Tusocalm is administered orally, 1 tablet 3-4 times a day.

Children under 12 years of age: Tusocalm is contraindicated in children under 12 years of age.

Children aged between 12 and 18 years: Tusocalm should not be used in children aged between 12 and 18 years with compromised respiratory function.

Precautions.

Codeine is converted to morphine in the liver by an enzyme. Morphine is the substance that produces the effects of codeine. Some people have a variant of this enzyme, and this can affect people in different ways. In some people, morphine is not produced or is produced in very small amounts, and it will not have an effect on their cough symptoms. In other people, serious adverse reactions are more likely to occur because morphine is produced in a very large amount. If you notice any of the following adverse reactions, you should stop taking this medicine and seek immediate medical attention: slow or shallow breathing, confusion, drowsiness, constricted pupils, nausea or vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite.

Tusocalm is not recommended for adolescents with compromised respiratory function for the treatment of cough.

Special warnings.

Pregnancy: Caution is recommended when administering Tusocalm to pregnant women, especially in the first months of pregnancy.

Breastfeeding: Do not take Tusocalm while breastfeeding. Codeine and morphine pass into breast milk.

Driving and using machines

Due to sedation and decreased reflex reactivity, codeine may affect the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery.
