About Spirodin-AB Tablet

ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE belongs to the class of drugs called bronchodilators primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE is a combination of two bronchodilator drugs, namely: Acebrophylline and Doxofylline. ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thereby, it makes breathing easier by opening airways. Additionally, Acebrophylline also acts as a mucolytic (cough/sputum thinner) agent and helps in thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily and makes breathing easier by opening airways.

Take ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, irritability, insomnia (difficulty in falling or staying asleep), fast heart rate, stomach discomfort, or drowsiness. Most of these side effects of ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a doctor before using ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE. ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE is not recommended for children below 6 years of age. Avoid alcohol consumption with ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE as it may reduce the effectiveness of ACEBROPHYLLINE+DOXOFYLLINE and increase drowsiness. If your breathing worsens or you often wake up at night with asthma, experience chest tightness in the morning, or last longer than usual, please consult a doctor immediately as these might be signs indicating that your asthma is not controlled properly and requires an alternate or additional treatment.
