About Macphylline Syrup

Macphylline 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).

Macphylline 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 Macphylline Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Macphylline Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your child's medical condition. The common side-effects of Macphylline 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 Macphylline Syrup unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not exceed the stated recommended dose.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • 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.
