These effects are more likely in children or older adults, or when combined with other medicines that cause drowsiness. If you ever experience unusual behaviour, severe drowsiness, or visual disturbances after taking CPM, stop the medicine and seek medical attention immediately. Always take the dose exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you have any concerns or existing medical conditions, consult your doctor before using it.

This combination is generally used for short-term relief only. Avoid alcohol and other sedatives while taking it, as drowsiness can increase. If symptoms persist beyond a few days, consult your doctor for proper evaluation.
