About Theo-Asthalin Forte Tablet 20's

Theo-Asthalin Forte Tablet 20's is a combination of respiratory-related medicine containing Salbutamol (bronchodilator) and Theophylline (xanthine and phosphodiesterase inhibitor). Together it helps in the management of chronic conditions of the respiratory system including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. On the other hand, COPD is a group of progressive lung diseases, with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of bronchial tubes). Initially, it may be mild, but it can lead to total blockage of airways and damage the lungs in severe cases.

Theo-Asthalin Forte Tablet 20's helps in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by relaxing and widening the narrowed or blocked airways (bronchial tubes) of the lungs making it easier to breathe in. Theo-Asthalin Forte Tablet 20's is given to treat an asthma attack when it first starts (an acute attack) and for wheezing (a whistling sound during breath) induced by factors like cold or exercise.

Theo-Asthalin Forte Tablet 20's should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. You may experience nausea, vomiting, restlessness, tremor, headache, muscle cramp, and increased heart rate in some cases. Most of these side effects of Theo-Asthalin Forte Tablet 20's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Let your doctor know about this, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms. Do not take this medicine if you have any lung disease, muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis), sleeping disorder or difficulty sleeping (sleep apnoea), severe liver disease, or problem with alcohol or other prescription recreational drugs. Theo-Asthalin Forte Tablet 20's is a habit-forming drug, and, hence there is a risk of dependence on this medicine. Before stopping this medicine, contact a doctor as it may cause withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, increased heart rate, tremors, or general unwell feeling.
