About Usal Syrup

Usal Syrup belongs to the class of 'bronchodilators' primarily used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Usal Syrup helps to relieve symptoms like coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).

Usal Syrup contains 'Salbutamol,' which is a β₂ adrenergic receptor agonist. It relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Usal Syrup makes breathing easier by widening the airways.

Your doctor will advise on how often you take Usal Syrup based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Usal Syrup include nausea, vomiting, restlessness, tremor (shakiness), headache, muscle tightness, dryness or soreness of the throat, dizziness, sleepiness, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), nasal congestion (stuffy nose), cough, and increased heart rate. Most of these side effects of Usal Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please seek medical help.

Brief your medical history if you have any heart, liver or kidney diseases, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), stomach ulcer, seizure (fits), high blood pressure and diabetes before taking Usal Syrup . Bronchodilators like Usal Syrup 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 Usal Syrup should be cautiously administered. Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Usal Syrup as it can worsen your sleepiness. Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own.

FAQs

Usal Syrup contains 'Salbutamol,' a bronchodilator. Usal Syrup treats asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by relaxing the muscles in the airways and increasing airflow to the lungs.

Bronchodilators like Usal Syrup should be cautiously used only under a doctor's supervision if you have any heart, liver, kidney diseases, hypokalaemia, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), stomach ulcer, seizure (fits), high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Bronchodilators can cause a rise in blood glucose levels. Hence monitor your blood glucose levels if you have diabetes and inform your doctor so that the dose can be adjusted accordingly. Your diabetologist may adjust your insulin dose or prescribe alternate diabetic medication based on your condition.

Bronchodilators may cause central nervous system stimulation, hence Usal Syrup is cautiously recommended for use in seizures as it might worsen your condition.

Usal Syrup can cause hypokalaemia in some patients leading to cardiovascular effects. Please consult your doctor before taking Usal Syrup if you are a hypokalaemia patient or more susceptible to it.

Disease/Condition Glossary

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).
