Inhalex Respules 5x2 ml

Inhalex Respules belongs to a class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) used to treat acute (short term) and chronic (long term) respiratory tract disease, spasmodic bronchostenosis (narrowing of bronchi), abnormal bronchial mucus production in conditions such as emphysema and bronchial asthma. Acute respiratory diseases are initially associated with dry, irritating cough, hoarseness in laryngitis (swelling of the voice box) or burning sensation in the chest due to bronchitis (swelling of the lining of bronchial tubes). Then, wet mucus forms and continuous coughing out of sputum occurs. In chronic respiratory diseases, both dry irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.

Inhalex Respules contains Ambroxol that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Inhalex Respules breakdown the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous removing sputum efficiently by coughing. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained.

Use Inhalex Respules as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you use Inhalex Respules based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, stomach pain, heartburn, vomiting or constipation. Most of these side effects of Inhalex Respules 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 ambroxol or other ingredients, inform your doctor. Inhalex Respules should be used with caution in pregnant women and in children below 18 years of age. Inhalex Respules is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers. In patients with symptoms of chronic impairment of secretion clearance or production, Inhalex Respules should be used only when advised by a doctor. Talk to your doctor before taking Inhalex Respules if you have kidney problems or peptic ulcers.

Inhalex Respules is a mucolytic agent (mucus thinner) that is used to treat acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) respiratory tract disease, spasmodic bronchostenosis, abnormal bronchial mucus production in conditions such as emphysema and bronchial asthma. Inhalex Respules helps in making cough less viscous so that it can be coughed out easily in the conditions of acute and recurrent bronchitis (airways infection), laryngitis (voice box infection), and tracheitis (windpipe infection) and chronic diseases like chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Thus, helps in thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose to cough out easily and provide relief from symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, tightness in the chest and shortness of breath. Also, Inhalex Respules is used to treat secretion disorders in chronic and acute bronchopulmonary infections.

If you are allergic to ambroxol or other ingredients, inform your doctor. Inhalex Respules should be used with caution in pregnant women and in children below 18 years of age. Inhalex Respules is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers.

• Avoid dairy products such as milk as it may increase mucus production. Also, avoid processed or refined foods to have relief from cough. Instead replace baked foods, fried foods, white bread, white pasta, French fries, sugary desserts and chips with green leafy vegetables.
• Drink plenty of fluids to avoid a dry throat while you have cough.
• Avoid citrus fruits as they may worsen the cough. Eat fruits that are rich in water content such as pears, watermelon, peaches and pineapples.

Acute respiratory tract disease: Acute respiratory tract diseases are initially associated with dry, irritating cough, hoarseness in laryngitis (swelling of the voice box), or burning sensation in the chest due to bronchitis (swelling of the lining of bronchial tubes). Then, wet mucus forms, and continuous coughing out of sputum occurs. In chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic bronchitis, both dry irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.
