Ascovent Syrup 100 ml

Ascovent Syrup belongs to the bronchodilator class of drugs used to prevent and treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Ascovent Syrup contains Acebrophylline, which relaxes muscles and widens the lungs' airways. Additionally, it helps reduce the mucus's viscosity in the airway and facilitates breathing. It helps to cough out easily and makes breathing easier by opening airways.

Use Ascovent Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Ascovent Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your child's medical condition. The common side-effects of Ascovent Syrup are diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, heartburn, stomach discomfort, skin rash or drowsiness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or you notice any unusual symptoms developing in the child, inform your doctor immediately.

Inform your doctor about the complete medical history of your children. Do not use any other medications or supplements with Ascovent Syrup unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not exceed the stated recommended dose.

Ascovent Syrup is a bronchodilator and mucolytic (mucus thinner) medication used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms. Ascovent Syrup acts by relaxing muscles and expanding the lungs' airways. Furthermore, Ascovent Syrup aids in the thinning and loosening of phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. As a result, it facilitates coughing and makes breathing easier by opening airways.

• Headaches
• Trembling, particularly in the hands
• A dry mouth
• Palpitations (noticeable heartbeats)
• Muscle cramps
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Upset stomach

If your child is allergic to any ingredient in Ascovent Syrup , inform your doctor. To rule out any unpleasant side effects or interactions, tell your doctor about your child's health condition and the medications receiving. Do not give more than the stated recommended dose. Do not use this medication alone; it should be used only in children if prescribed by a doctor.

Drug-Drug Interactions: Ascovent Syrup may interact with antibiotics (e.g. ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, amoxicillin, doxycycline), water pills (e.g. furosemide), medicines used to treat gout (e.g. allopurinol) and anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin).

Drug-Food Interactions: Ascovent Syrup may interact with alcohol and caffeine.

Drug-Disease Interactions: Ascovent Syrup may interact with various disease conditions, including low blood pressure, high blood pressure, heart failure, heart diseases, hemodynamic instability (unstable blood pressure), irregular heartbeats, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), viral infections, fits, gastric or duodenal ulcers and kidney or liver insufficiency.

• CIPROFLOXACIN
• ERYTHROMYCIN
• AMOXICILLIN
• DOXYCYCLINE
• FUROSEMIDE
• ALLOPURINOL
• WARFARIN

• Make your child eat a healthy diet, especially green leafy vegetables, and strictly do not consume caffeinated products (coffee, tea, cola drinks, and chocolate).
• Let your child drink fluids daily to thin mucus and make coughing easier.
• Maintaining hygiene, like washing hands after coming from outside, is essential, as people with asthma/COPD are at a greater risk of infections.
• Physical activities improve the quality of life and increase tolerance to shortness of breath.
• Shortness of breath can be eased by doing pursed-lip breathing exercises. In this, relax your neck and shoulder muscles, breathe in with your nose for two seconds and breathe out through pursed lips for four seconds. Breathing techniques and such exercises will help you to improve your breathing capacity and lung health.

Asthma: It is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and may produce extra mucus, leading to breathing difficulty with a whistling sound (wheezing) in laboured breathing conditions. There is no cure, but basic treatments can help keep the symptoms under control so that they do not interfere with your life.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): It 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 severe lung damage in severe cases.
