Duralyn Pead Syrup
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Duralyn Pead Syrup is used to treat and prevent symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (a lung disorder in which flow of air to the lung is blocked). It helps in relaxing the muscles of the air passages, thus widening it and making it easier to breathe.
Duralyn Pead Syrup can be taken with the food in the evening. Take it at the same time every day to get the most benefit. The dose and how often you take it depends on what you are taking it for. Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms. Take it for as long as it is prescribed for you. Do not miss even a single dose, if in any case, you missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember it. It does not work immediately or prevent the already started breathing trouble, hence always carry your medical inhaler with you for an emergency.
The most common side effects of this medicine include vomiting, headache, nausea, stomach upset, and insomnia. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. Generally, it is advised not to consume alcohol or do not smoke while on treatment. You must avoid high caffeinated products like coffee, tea, and dark chocolates as it enhances drug side effects.
Before taking this medicine, let your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease or if you have heart-related problems. Your doctor should also know about all other medicines you are taking as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting the treatment.
Uses of Duralyn Syrup
Benefits of Duralyn Syrup
In Asthma
Asthma is a condition in which the airways of the lungs become inflamed and narrowed, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. Duralyn Pead Syrup works by relaxing the muscles around the airways and reducing airway narrowing, which improves airflow to the lungs. This helps in easing breathing, reducing asthma symptoms, and improving the patient’s ability to carry out daily activities with fewer breathing difficulties.
In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that causes persistent breathing problems due to airway obstruction and damage to the lungs. Patients often experience chronic cough, mucus buildup, and shortness of breath, which worsen over time. Duralyn Pead Syrup helps by widening the airways and reducing inflammation, allowing better movement of air in and out of the lungs. This relieves breathlessness, decreases the frequency of flare-ups, and enhances overall lung function, improving quality of life in people living with COPD.
