When should I be careful taking Guaifed Syrup ?

This drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known if this medication is passed along to breast milk; consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Tell your doctor if you have pre-existing heart, kidney or liver disease; lung disease; emphysema; high blood pressure; overactive thyroid; diabetes mellitus; glaucoma; difficulty urinating or an enlarged prostate; or a history of seizures.

What side effects should I watch for ?

Nausea, stomach upset, loss of appetite, nervousness, dizziness or headache may occur the first several days as your body adjusts to the medication. If these effects continue or become bothersome, inform your doctor.

Because this medication may cause dizziness, use caution performing tasks requiring alertness, and avoid consuming alcohol, which can aggravate this effect.
