1. What RELOGEN is and what it is used for

RELOGEN contains the active substance sobrerol. Sobrerol belongs to a group of medicines called mucolytics. These medicines work by liquefying thick mucus secretions (phlegm) and facilitating their elimination.
RELOGEN is indicated to help remove excess mucus in acute and chronic respiratory tract disorders.
Consult your doctor if you do not notice any improvement or if your symptoms worsen.

2. What you need to know before taking RELOGEN

Do not take RELOGEN

  • if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to the active substance or to any of the other ingredients of RELOGEN (listed in section 6).
  • in children under 2 years of age.
  • in children with a history of epilepsy or febrile seizures.

Take special care:
This medicinal product contains sobrerol which, in excessive doses, may cause neurological disorders such as
seizures in newborns and children.
Do not extend treatment beyond 3 days due to the risks associated with the accumulation of terpene derivatives in
the body, including the brain, and particularly the risk of neuropsychological disturbances.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking RELOGEN.
Children and adolescents
The use of RELOGEN is contraindicated in children under 2 years of age. Mucolytics may induce
bronchial occlusion (the ability to clear bronchial mucus in children under 2 years is limited due to the characteristics of their respiratory tract).
Other medicines and RELOGEN
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other
medicines.
Do not use RELOGEN when also taking other products (medicines or cosmetics) containing terpene derivatives (e.g. camphor, cineole, niaouli, wild thyme, 20-terpineol, terpinen, citral, menthol, and essential oils of pine needles, eucalyptus, and turpentine), regardless of the route of administration (oral, rectal, cutaneous, or pulmonary).
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
During pregnancy and/or breastfeeding, RELOGEN should be used only after consulting your doctor and evaluating with him the risk/benefit ratio in your individual case.
Driving and using machines
RELOGEN does not impair the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery.
RELOGEN 40 mg/5 ml syrup contains maltitol, sodium, and hydroxybenzoates
RELOGEN 40 mg/5 ml syrup contains a sugar called maltitol. Patients with rare hereditary fructose intolerance (a sugar) should not take this medicine.
RELOGEN contains sodium (0.29 mmol of sodium in 5 ml, i.e. more than 1 mmol of sodium per 20 ml), which should be taken into account in individuals on a low-sodium diet.
The multidose syrup also contains methyl p-hydroxybenzoate and propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, which may cause allergic reactions (including delayed-type reactions).
