Orciprenaline is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Orciprenaline too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.

Orciprenaline works by widening the air passages in your lungs so that air can flow into your lungs more freely. Orciprenaline helps to relieve the symptoms of asthma such as coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath, particularly at night.

Orciprenaline should be taken in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Orciprenaline can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day to reduce the chances of a missed dose. However, it is advisable to take Orciprenaline just before bedtime with a glass of water.

If you forget a dose of Orciprenaline, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose on the prescribed time. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

Taking a higher than the recommended dose of Orciprenaline may cause seizures, chest pain, nervousness, headache, dry mouth, nausea, dizziness and lack of energy. High doses of Orciprenaline may also cause fast, irregular or pounding heartbeat, uncontrollable shaking of any part of the body and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. In any such case, seek immediate medical attention.

Yes, Orciprenaline is safe, but its use depends on the severity of your heart problem. If you experience chest pain or any other symptom of worsening heart disease while taking Orciprenaline, seek immediate medical advice.
