Things To Consider Before And When Using
Those with hepatic or renal impairment should consult a physician before starting treatment. Doctors should also be contacted in case of prolonged insomnia as it may then be due to a physical or mental illness.
With prolonged use, dry mouth can lead to the risk of damage to teeth and oral mucosa. Careful oral hygiene is therefore important: Teeth should be thoroughly cleaned with fluoride toothpaste twice a day.
This tablet contains lactose, which is a sugar. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.
Rising age generally leads to an increased sensitivity to drugs.
Propavan 25 mg English should therefore be used with caution in elderly patients, as they may be more sensitive to the effects of tablets such as daytime fatigue, muscle effects, anxiety, or restlessness.
