1.5 Side ef fects

Expected side ef fects

Uncommon expected side effects during and/or

following SIMEOX are:

1

of mild intensity and transient: hemoptysis,

excessive sputum, chest discomfort or pain, chest

pain with sputum, excessive cough, dyspnea or

shortness of breath

2

of moderate intensity: aggravation of pre-existing

hemoptysis

Rare expected side effects during and/or following

SIMEOX are:

1

of mild intensity and transient: dry throat,

hoarseness, throat irritation, laryngitis, bronchi

irritation, gastric reflux

2

of moderate intensity: nausea and/or

vomiting in pregnant women, aggravation of

gastroesophageal reflux, sore throat, low back

pain, arrhythmias in patients with a history of

rhythm disorders or with a pacemaker

If the patient experiences one or more side effects while using SIMEOX, it is recommended to consult a healthcare

professional as soon as possible to assess whether treatment should be continued.

If the patient is taking anti-coagulants and is

prone to hemoptysis, it is recommended to

consult a healthcare professional for advice

before using SIMEOX, as the risk of an increase in

pre-existing hemoptysis may be greater in some

cases.

In the event of dry throat during SIMEOX

treatment, it is recommended to hydrate

sufficiently (by drinking water, for example)

between bronchial drainage sessions to avoid

hoarseness or irritation.

Regular hydration also reduces the risk of

bronchial irritation. Inhalations can also help to

humify the mucous membranes of the throat and

bronchi.

SIMEOX should be used away from meals, to

avoid any discomfort or potential digestive upset

(nausea, gastric reflux, vomiting, etc.), particularly

in pregnant women and patients with a history of

gastro-esophageal reflux disease.

It is recommended to use SIMEOX in a

comfortable, relaxed position, to avoid

inappropriate muscular and joint tension during

treatment, which could induce pain.

SIMEOX should not cause significant pain

or discomfort to the patient: in the event of

significant pain or discomfort, it is recommended

to stop using SIMEOX immediately and consult a

healthcare professional.

In the event of a new unexpected symptom

or worsening of an existing symptom, it is

recommended to stop using SIMEOX immediately

and consult a healthcare professional.
