Bronchodilators like Asthalin-4 Tablet 30's can cause a rise in blood sugar levels, hence diabetic patients should monitor their blood glucose levels and use this medicine only with a doctor's advice. Bronchodilators also cause hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood) in some patients leading to severe heart diseases, so Asthalin-4 Tablet 30's should be cautiously administered. Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines.

Drug-Food Interaction: Limit alcohol intake since it may worsen the side effects like sleepiness and shakiness.

Drug-Disease Interaction: Caution and doctor's advice is recommended in conditions like gastric or peptic ulcer, sepsis, hypokalaemia (low potassium in the blood), lactic acidosis (excess acid in the bloodstream), liver/kidney diseases (especially cirrhosis or hepatitis), fluid in the lungs, heart problems, overactive thyroid,  and seizures (fits).

• Eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system.
• Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.

• Monitor your blood glucose levels regularly since bronchodilators can raise blood sugar levels.
• Keep a check on your heart condition (if you are heart disease patient) with an ECG if you notice any rapid heartbeat and blood pressure changes.
• Undergoing a blood examination for your potassium levels in the blood will help rule out the possibility of hypokalaemia.

Asthma: A breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell and may produce extra mucus which may lead to breathing difficulty and triggering cough, a whistling sound (wheezing) when you breathe out and shortness of breath.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): It is a group of progressive lung diseases, most commonly emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation and irritation of bronchial tubes). Initially, it may be mild, but in severe cases, it can lead to total blockage of airways and damaging the lungs.

Coughing occurs as a reflex action in the throat when there is mucus or any other foreign irritant in it.
