or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use
of chlophedianol in the elderly with use in other age groups.
Other medicines - Although certain medicines should not be used

Other medical problems - The presence of other medical
problems may affect the use of chlophedianol. Make sure you tell your doctor
if you have any other medical problems, especially:

Mucus or phlegm with cough - Since chlophedianol decreases coughing,
it makes it difficult to get rid of the mucus that may collect in the lungs
