Patients suffering from chronic cough or asthma should consult a physician before taking this product. Phenylephrine hydrochloride is irregularly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and undergoes first-pass metabolism by monoamine oxidase in the gut and liver; orally administered phenylephrine thus has reduced bioavailability. Adverse events from historical clinical trial data are both infrequent and from small patient exposure.
Symptoms may be limited to nausea or vomiting and may not reflect the severity of overdose or the risk of organ damage.
