Side Effects
Common side effects include mild nausea, headache, or slight drowsiness despite the non-drowsy formulation. Some patients may experience dry mouth, nervousness, or mild stomach upset. Rarely, patients may develop palpitations or difficulty sleeping if taken close to bedtime.
Warning
Do not exceed recommended dosage or frequency. Avoid use in patients with severe hypertension, heart disease, or hyperthyroidism due to ephedrine content. Not suitable for dry, non-productive coughs.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Tuxil-D should be avoided during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, due to ephedrine and cetirizine content. Use during breastfeeding is not recommended as components may pass into breast milk. Consult healthcare provider for safer alternatives during pregnancy and lactation.
