You should not stop Deriphyllin Retard 150?mg on your own, as sudden discontinuation can worsen breathing. Continue as prescribed, but if you experience side effects like palpitations or shortness of breath, inform your doctor immediately for possible dose adjustment or alternative treatment.

A doctor prescribed Deriphyllin Retard 150 mg twice daily. Should I continue this medication or stop it?

Deriphyllin Retard 150 mg is usually prescribed to help open the airways in conditions like asthma or bronchospasm, so whether you should continue or stop it depends on your diagnosis and current symptoms. You should not stop it abruptly without consulting your doctor, but if you are not feeling any improvement, having side effects (such as palpitations, restlessness, or nausea), or if it was started without clear benefit, it is best to follow up with your doctor for reassessment and possible change in treatment, as sometimes inhalers or other medicines may be more effective and safer depending on the cause of your symptoms.

Your symptoms could be related to your medications, underlying medical conditions, or lifestyle and dietary factors. It is important to consult your prescribing or treating doctor, provide a detailed description of your symptoms, and undergo a proper evaluation. Your doctor can assess all potential causes and guide you on the safest and most appropriate management. Do not adjust or stop your medications on your own.
