Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions.

Dr. Mom® lozenges should not be used simultaneously with antitussive agents and drugs that suppress mucus production, as this may interfere with expectoration of liquefied mucus.

Hypokalemia (due to excessive use of licorice root) may be potentiated when used concomitantly with cardiac glycosides, antiarrhythmic agents, and drugs affecting heart rhythm (e.g., quinidine). When used concurrently with drugs that may cause hypokalemia (thiazide and loop diuretics, adrenocorticosteroids, and laxatives), electrolyte imbalance may occur; therefore, prolonged concurrent use of the drug with the aforementioned medicinal products should be avoided.

May enhance the absorption of sulfaguanidine.

Caution is required when used concomitantly with warfarin due to the potential risk of bleeding resulting from increased INR (international normalized ratio).
