কষ্টিকামের সহিত ফসফরাসের প্রতিবন্ধকতা রহিয়াছে। এই দুইটি ঔষধের কোন একটি অপর ঔষধের পরে ব্যবহার করা উচিৎ নহে।
-
কাশি যতই শুষ্ক ও ক্লেশদায়ক হউক না কেন খুব ঠান্ডা জল পান করিবার পরই কাশির উপশম হয় ।
-
তরুণ পীড়ায় ইহার ক্রিয়া খুব দ্রুত কিন্তু চিররোগে অপেক্ষাকৃত ধীর ।
-
পুরাতন পীড়ায় ইহার উচ্চ শক্তি ব্যবহার করা উচিৎ ।
