ACC Long is not recommended for: pregnant or lactating women; persons with gastric or duodenal ulcers, haemoptysis, pulmonary haemorrhage, or hypersensitivity to acetylcysteine or any auxiliary component.

Do not use ACC Long with antitussive drugs, as suppression of the cough reflex may lead to dangerous mucus stagnation.
