Precautions:

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility:
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Pregnancy:
Due to the absorption of aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide into the blood, Dicarbocalm with blackcurrant flavour should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary. It is recommended to avoid long-term administration and high doses.
Aluminium salts can cause constipation which can worsen constipation characteristic of pregnancy; they can also cause a decrease in phosphorus in the blood at high doses.
Aluminium absorption should be considered minimal if the recommended doses are followed, but if the doses are not followed and especially in the case of renal failure of the pregnant woman, there is a risk of aluminium poisoning of the foetus and newborn.
Magnesium salts can cause diarrhoea; at high doses or in the case of prolonged treatment there is a risk of hypermagnesemia (increased magnesium level in the blood).

Breastfeeding:
Breastfeeding is not contraindicated during treatment with Dicarbocalm with blackcurrant flavor.

Dicarbocalm with blackcurrant flavor has no influence on the ability to drive or use machines.
