Theo-Asthalin Tablet

Theo-Asthalin Tablet is a prescription medication primarily used for the management of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is a combination medication that helps to improve breathing by widening the airways.

Active Ingredients:

The tablet contains a combination of two active ingredients:

1. Theophylline: This is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways of the lungs, making it easier for air to flow in and out. It also has a mild anti-inflammatory effect.

2. Salbutamol (also known as Albuterol): This is a short-acting beta-2 agonist, which is also a bronchodilator. It works by stimulating specific receptors in the lungs, which causes the muscles around the airways to relax and open up quickly.

How it Works:

The combined action of Theophylline and Salbutamol provides both short-term relief and long-term control of respiratory symptoms.

• Salbutamol provides rapid relief from sudden symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

• Theophylline provides a sustained bronchodilating effect, helping to keep the airways open over a longer period.

This dual action helps to prevent and manage asthma attacks and the symptoms of COPD, such as wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing.

Important Considerations:

• Prescription Only: Theo-Asthalin Tablet is a prescription medication and should only be taken as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Dosage and Administration: The dosage and frequency are determined by your doctor. It is typically taken orally, usually with or without food. It is important to swallow the tablet whole and not to crush, chew, or break it.

• Precautions:

  • Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol as it can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness and may alter the way the medicine works.

  • Driving and Machinery: Due to potential dizziness, tremors, and a fast heartbeat, exercise caution when driving or operating heavy machinery.

  • Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially heart problems, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, diabetes, kidney or liver disease, stomach ulcers, or seizures.

  • Smoking: Smoking can affect the levels of theophylline in your blood, so inform your doctor if you are a smoker.
