Special patient groups
Elderly, emaciated patients: the use of the drug requires extreme caution, as in these patients antihistamines often cause side effects (dizziness, drowsiness).
Patients with impaired liver function: a dose reduction may be required due to a decrease in the metabolism of the active component of the drug in liver diseases. Patients with impaired renal function: it may be necessary to change the regimen of the drug and reduce the dose due to the fact that the active component is mainly released through the kidneys.
