{"adverse_reactions":["ADVERSE REACTIONS Mild central nervous system stimulation, especially in those patients who are hypersensitive to sympathomimetic drugs, may occur. Hyperreactive individuals may display ephedrine-like reactions such as tachycardia, palpitations, headache, dizziness, or nausea. Nervousness, excitability, restlessness, weakness, and insomnia may also occur. Headache and drowsiness have also been reported. Large doses may cause light-headedness, nausea and/or vomiting. Sympathomimetic drugs have also been associated with certain untoward reactions including fear, anxiety, tenseness, restlessness, tremor, weakness, pallor, respiratory difficulty, dysuria, insomnia, hallucination, convulsion, CNS depression, arrhythmias and cardiovascular collapse with hypotension."],"carcinogenesis_and_mutagenesis_and_impairment_of_fertility":["Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis and Impairment of fertility No adequate and well controlled studies have been conducted to determine whether the components of Crantex Liquid ® have a potential for carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, or impairment of fertility."],"clinical_pharmacology":["CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Phenylephrine HCI is a sympathomimetic which acts predominantly on alpha receptors and has little action on beta receptors, therefore it functions as an oral nasal decongestant with minimal CNS stimulation. Guaifenesin has an expectorant action which increases the output of respiratory tract fluid by reducing adhesiveness and surface tension. Sinus and bronchial drainage is improved and dry, non-productive coughs become more productive and less frequent."],"contraindications":["CONTRAINDICATIONS Crantex Liquid ® is contraindicated in infants and newborns, and in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the components. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe hypertension, severe coronary artery disease, hyperthyroidism, and in patients on MAO inhibitor therapy (or for 14 days after stopping MAOI therapy).

It can also cause palpitations, restlessness, dizziness, tremor, vomiting, fear, labored breathing, headache, dryness of mouth, pallor, weakness, panic, anxiety, confusion, hallucinations, delirium, hyperactive reflexes, talkativeness, irritability and insomnia. Cardiovascular and renal effects include difficulty in urination, headache, flushing, palpitation, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension with subsequent hypotension and circulatory collapse. Gastrointestinal effects include dry mouth, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Overdosage with guaifenesin is unlikely to produce toxic effects since its toxicity is low. Guaifenesin, when administered by stomach tube to test animals in doses up to 0.5 g/kg produced no signs of toxicity. Treatment The patient should be induced to vomit, even if emesis has occurred spontaneously. Pharmacologic vomiting by the administration of ipecac syrup is a preferred method, however, vomiting should not be induced in patients with impaired consciousness. Precautions against aspiration must be taken, especially in infants and children. Following emesis, any drug remaining in the stomach may be absorbed by activated charcoal administered as slurry with water.
