About Rofluren Tablet

Rofluren Tablet is a respiratory medicine that belongs to the class of 'phosphodiesterase inhibitors' primarily used to manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a group of progressive lung diseases. It is a long-term condition which makes you hard to take breathe.

Bronchitis allows mucus to build up in the bronchial tubes by causing inflammation and narrowing of the tubes.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Smoking should be avoided while taking Rofluren Tablet as it can alter the blood levels of roflumilast, which may affect the dosing.
  • It is essential to maintain hygiene like washing hands after coming from outside, as people with asthma/COPD are at a greater risk of infections.
  • Stay active and do regular exercise to improve 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. Such exercises will help you to improve your breath.
  • Eat foods rich in potassium such as tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens and beetroots as potassium is important for lung function and a potassium deficiency may cause breathing problems.
  • Drink plenty of fluids every day to thin mucus which makes it easier to cough out.
  • Maintain a diet that includes complex carbohydrates such as lentils, beans, barley, oats, quinoa, bran, peas and potatoes with skin.
  • Limit or avoid the intake of caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee, soda and energy drinks.
  • Eat protein-rich foods such as meat, fish (particularly salmon, sardines, and mackerel), eggs and poultry.
  • Exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system. Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.
  • Stop smoking as it can reduce the efficacy of the Rofluren Tablet and irritate the lungs and make breathing problems worse.
