Older people
There have been no specific studies of pseudoephedrine or triprolidine
in the elderly.
The elderly are more likely to experience the neurological
anticholinergic effects of
triprolidine, including confusion, and to develop paradoxical
excitation [see Section
4.4.].
Patients with hepatic impairment
Triprolidine is eliminated primarily by hepatic metabolism therefore
consideration
should be given to reducing the dose in those with severe hepatic
impairment [see
Section 4.4.]

Patients with renal impairment
Pseudoephedrine is primarily excreted renally. Renal impairment will
increase
plasma levels of pseudoephedrine. Pseudoephedrine should not be used
by those with
severe renal impairment (see contraindications) and should be use with
caution in
those with moderate renal impairment [see Section 4.4.].
