About AIROMOL PD LIQUID

AIROMOL PD LIQUID is a prescription medicine used to relieve and manage symptoms of chronic asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps open up the airways in your lungs, making it easier to breathe when you experience wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness.

To get the best results, take AIROMOL PD LIQUID regularly at the same times each day as directed by your doctor. It can usually be taken with or without food, although taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset. Avoid drinking large amounts of caffeinated beverages, as caffeine can increase the risk of side effects.

While taking this medicine, you may notice mild side effects such as hand tremors, a faster heartbeat, or headaches. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe chest pain, irregular heart rhythms, or extreme muscle weakness.

Talk to your doctor before starting AIROMOL PD LIQUID if you have a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, liver disease, kidney problems, or seizures. Older adults and children may require closer monitoring and dose adjustments. Do not take this medicine if you have a known allergy to any of its ingredients or if you have a condition causing a severely fast heart rate. Tell your doctor before starting treatment if you have heart rhythm disorders, severe heart disease, seizure disorders, liver disease, or other conditions that may affect the safe use of this medicine. This is a prescription-only medicine and should only be used under the supervision of a doctor. 

This medication can interact with other drugs like beta-blockers, water pills, or certain antibiotics, and smoking can significantly change how your body processes this medicine. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or are an older adult, consult your doctor or pharmacist to ensure this medicine is safe for you.

Uses of AIROMOL PD LIQUID

Your doctor may prescribe AIROMOL PD LIQUID for several conditions affecting your breathing. These include:

  • Asthma: AIROMOL PD LIQUID helps prevent and treat sudden wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath by keeping the airway muscles relaxed.
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): AIROMOL PD LIQUID provides ongoing relief from long-term lung issues like chronic bronchitis and emphysema by keeping the breathing passages open over a longer period.
  • Bronchospasm (sudden tightening of the muscles around the airways): AIROMOL PD LIQUID relieves temporary narrowing of the airways, allowing smoother airflow. 

Key Benefits

AIROMOL PD LIQUID delivers dual-action relief to help you manage chronic breathing difficulties more effectively. By targeting different pathways in the lungs, it provides both quick and long-lasting muscle relaxation in the airways.

Key benefits include the following:

  • Easier Daily Breathing: By reducing airway resistance, it helps you perform regular daily activities without getting easily winded.
  • Reduced Flare-ups: Consistent use helps lower the frequency and severity of sudden breathing emergencies.
  • Better Sleep Quality: Preventing nighttime coughing and wheezing allows for more restful, uninterrupted sleep.

Directions for Use

Follow these steps to take AIROMOL PD LIQUID safely and effectively:

  • Measure or swallow carefully: If you are taking the tablet form, swallow it whole with a glass of water. If you are using the liquid form, including paediatric syrup formulations when prescribed, use a proper medical measuring spoon or cup to measure the exact dose.
  • Do not crush or chew: If you have been prescribed extended-release tablets, do not crush, chew, or break them, as this can release too much medicine into your body at once.
  • Take it consistently: Use this medicine at the exact times prescribed by your doctor, either with or without food.
    Always follow your doctor's exact instructions regarding your dose and how often to take it.

How AIROMOL PD LIQUID Works

AIROMOL PD LIQUID contains salbutamol and theophylline, which work together to open the airways and make breathing easier. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that works quickly by relaxing the muscles surrounding the airways. This helps widen the air passages, allowing air to flow more freely into and out of the lungs. As a result, it provides rapid relief from symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Theophylline is another bronchodilator that helps relax the muscles around the airways and may also reduce inflammation within the lungs. This helps keep the air passages open for longer periods, making it easier to breathe and reducing breathing difficulties. Together, these medicines help improve airflow to the lungs, keep the airways open, and provide relief from symptoms associated with respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Limit Caffeine: Cut back on coffee, tea, colas, and chocolate. Caffeine can worsen side effects like jitteriness, anxiety, and a rapid heart rate while taking this medicine.
  • Avoid Smoking: Quit smoking and avoid secondhand smoke. Smoking not only damages your lungs but also speeds up how quickly your body clears this medication, which can make it less effective.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration helps thin out the mucus in your lungs, making it easier to cough up and clear your airways.
  • Monitor Trigger Foods: Be aware of foods or sulphites (preservatives commonly found in dried fruits, wine, and some packaged foods) that might trigger your asthma or breathing symptoms, and keep a food diary to discuss with your doctor.

Storage

• Store the medicine at room temperature, ideally between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F). • Keep it in its original packaging to protect it from direct light, heat, and moisture. Do not store it in the bathroom.

Drug Warnings

Check liquid clarity: If you are using the liquid form of AIROMOL PD LIQUID , check the bottle before each use. If the liquid is cloudy, has changed colour, or contains visible floating particles, do not use it and consult your pharmacist.

  • Monitor your heart rate: Keep a close eye on your pulse. If your heart rate stays unusually high or feels irregular even when you are resting, contact your doctor.
  • Regular blood tests: Theophylline has a narrow therapeutic index, which means the difference between an effective dose and a harmful dose can be small. Regular blood tests are required to monitor theophylline levels and help reduce the risk of toxicity. Your doctor may also monitor your potassium levels. Make sure to keep all scheduled lab appointments and never miss recommended monitoring.
  • Watch for worsening symptoms: If you find yourself needing to use your rescue inhaler more often than usual, or if AIROMOL PD LIQUID does not seem to ease your breathing as well as before, seek medical advice promptly. Oral salbutamol may cause more whole-body side effects, such as tremors and a fast heartbeat, than inhaled salbutamol. Your doctor will decide which formulation is most appropriate for your condition.
