special instructions

Information for patients with diabetes mellitus: 1 tsp. syrup contains 3.3 g of sucrose, which corresponds to 0.28 bread units in 1 tsp. syrup 9% (without sugar) - 1.85 g of sorbitol, which corresponds to 0.15 bread unit.

Ethanol content in the preparation: drops - 19 vol.% Ethanol, syrup and syrup 9% (without sugar) - 4 vol.% Ethanol.
