ephedrine hydrochloride<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Mollisupradine is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mollisupradine contains bromhexine and\u00a0ephedrine.\u00a0Bromhexine is considered to make the mucus in the airways thinner.\u00a0It can facilitate the expectoration of mucus.\u00a0Ephedrine\u00a0dilates the trachea and has a decongestant effect on the mucous membranes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mollisupradine is used for coughs with viscous mucus and at the same time needs a bronchodilator effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bromhexine and\u00a0ephedrine\u00a0contained in Mollisupradine may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professionals if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you use Mollisupradine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do not use Mollisupradine:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; if you are allergic to bromhexine,\u00a0ephedrine,\u00a0or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Mollisupradine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must talk to a doctor before using this medicine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have a history of heart disease, irregular heartbeat or angina<\/li><li>if you have heart disease, high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;, high levels of thyroid hormone in the blood (&nbsp;hyperthyroidism&nbsp;), enlarged&nbsp;prostate&nbsp;,&nbsp;glaucoma&nbsp;,&nbsp;diabetes&nbsp;or&nbsp;stomach ulcers<\/li><li>if you have bloody cough<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Mollisupradine may cause\u00a0dry mouth.\u00a0Careful oral hygiene (brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day) while using Mollisupradine is therefore important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Severe skin reactions have been reported with the use of bromhexine.&nbsp;If you get a rash (including ulcers in the mucous membranes of eg mouth, throat, nose, eyes, genitals), stop using Mollisupradine and contact a doctor immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At high\u00a0doses\u00a0and long-term use, there is a certain risk of developing an addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Mollisupradine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some medicines may affect or be affected by treatment with Mollisupradine, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>MAO inhibitors&nbsp;and tricylic antidepressants (antidepressants)<\/li><li>medicines for high&nbsp;blood pressure<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/medicines\/toflacort\/\">dexamethasone<\/a> (cortisone preparation)<\/li><li>cardiac glycosides (for the treatment of heart problems)<\/li><li>quinidine&nbsp;(for the treatment of heart rhythm problems)<\/li><li>ergot alkaloids (for the treatment of&nbsp;migraines&nbsp;)<\/li><li>oxycytocin (to initiate labor)<\/li><li>anesthetics&nbsp;(narcotics) such as cyclopropane or halothane<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnancy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No adverse effects in the fetus have been shown, but normal caution applies especially during the first 3 months of pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breast-feeding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bromhexine is likely to pass into breast milk and should therefore be avoided during breastfeeding.\u00a0Therefore, you should not use Mollisupradine while you are breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During treatment with Mollisupradine, dizziness may occur.&nbsp;This should be taken into account when sharpened attention is required, for example when driving a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mollisupradine contains alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains 450 mg&nbsp;ethanol&nbsp;(alcohol), per 15 ml medicine (maximum dose).&nbsp;The amount in 15 ml of this medicine corresponds to 11.4 ml of beer or 4.8 ml of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of alcohol in this medicine is unlikely to have any effects on adults and adolescents and its effect in children is probably not noticeable.\u00a0It can have some effect in younger children, e.g.\u00a0somnolence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alcohol in this medicine may affect the effectiveness of other medicines.\u00a0Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are or have been addicted to alcohol, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Mollisupradine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended&nbsp;dose&nbsp;is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Adults and children over 15 years:<\/em>&nbsp;15 ml, 3-4 times a day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Children 11-14
