With Impaired Renal Function

Since absorbed benzydamine and its metabolites are excreted in the urine, the possibility of systemic effects should be considered in patients with severe renal impairment.

With Impaired Liver Function

Since absorbed benzydamine is highly metabolised in the liver, possibility of systemic effects should be considered in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
