Steriphyllin SR 200 is a sustained-release formulation of Acebrophylline 200 mg, a medication primarily used to manage respiratory conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other bronchial disorders. This medication provides long-lasting relief from symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness, and cough by relaxing the muscles in the airways, allowing for easier breathing. Its sustained-release (SR) formulation ensures that the active ingredient is gradually released into the bloodstream over time, making it effective for long-term control of respiratory symptoms. Steriphyllin SR 200 is an ideal choice for patients requiring regular treatment for chronic respiratory conditions, offering both bronchodilatory and anti-inflammatory effects to help improve quality of life.

 

Key Benefits:

 

1. Relieves Symptoms of Asthma and COPD:
   Acebrophylline helps to relax the bronchial muscles and open up the airways, reducing wheezing, cough, and breathlessness associated with asthma and COPD.

2. Sustained Action:
   The sustained-release formulation provides long-lasting effects, offering convenient once-daily dosing, ensuring continuous relief from symptoms throughout the day.

3. Improves Breathing:
   By dilating the bronchi and reducing inflammation, it enhances lung function, making breathing easier and improving overall respiratory health.

4. Reduces Excess Mucus:
   Acebrophylline’s mucolytic properties help break down and thin the mucus in the airways, making it easier to clear the air passages and improve airflow.

5. Fewer Side Effects Due to Slow Release:
   The SR (sustained-release) formulation minimizes the peak concentration of the drug in the bloodstream, reducing the likelihood of side effects and providing smoother, prolonged action.

 

How Does It Work?

 

Steriphyllin SR 200 works through its active ingredient, Acebrophylline, which combines two key actions:

1. Bronchodilation:
   Acebrophylline works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the bronchial walls, which helps in opening the airways. This reduces airway resistance, allowing for improved airflow and easier breathing.

2. Anti-inflammatory Action:
   Acebrophylline also has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the swelling and irritation in the airways. By decreasing inflammation, it helps to prevent bronchoconstriction and reduces symptoms like wheezing and tightness in the chest.

3. Mucolytic Effect:
   Acebrophylline helps to break down and thin the mucus lining the airways, making it easier to clear and improving the overall airflow. This helps in conditions where excess mucus production is a problem, such as in COPD or chronic bronchitis.

The sustained-release mechanism ensures that the medication is released slowly into the bloodstream over time, providing long-lasting effects with once-daily dosing.

 

Side Effects:

 

While Steriphyllin SR 200 is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects, which may include:

1. Gastrointestinal Distress:
   Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or indigestion may occur, especially when the medication is taken on an empty stomach.

2. Headache:
   Some patients may experience headaches, which are usually mild and temporary.

3. Dizziness or Lightheadedness:
   A slight feeling of dizziness may occur, especially when standing up quickly. This is usually temporary.

4. Palpitations or Increased Heart Rate:
   In some cases, Acebrophylline may cause palpitations or a slight increase in heart rate due to its bronchodilator action.

CHOLEDUCE Oral Suspension is a pharmaceutical solution designed to help manage high cholesterol levels and other associated conditions. The active ingredient, Cholestyramine Resin, works by binding bile acids in the intestine and preventing their reabsorption, leading to improved lipid profile and reduced cholesterol levels. This effective treatment is commonly prescribed for patients suffering from hypercholesterolemia or to prevent complications linked to elevated cholesterol.

 

Key Benefits:

 

• Reduces Cholesterol Levels: Cholestyramine works by lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol.
• Supports Heart Health: By managing cholesterol levels, it reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.
• Effective for Hyperlipidemia: CHOLEDUCE is especially useful for managing conditions where elevated cholesterol and triglycerides are present.
• Additional Benefits for Bile Acid-Related Conditions: It may also be used for treating conditions like pruritus (itching) related to cholestasis.

 

How Does It Work?

 

CHOLEDUCE works by binding to bile acids in the intestines, forming an insoluble complex. This complex is then excreted through the stool, preventing the bile acids from being reabsorbed into the bloodstream. As a result, the liver uses cholesterol to produce more bile acids, which ultimately lowers cholesterol levels in the body. This mechanism reduces the concentration of LDL cholesterol and helps to maintain a healthy lipid balance.

 

Directions for Use:

 

• Dosage: The typical dosage is 4 grams per day, which may be adjusted based on individual needs as directed by a healthcare provider.
• Administration: The oral suspension should be mixed with a small amount of water or another beverage to make it easier to swallow.
• Frequency: It is generally recommended to take CHOLEDUCE once or twice a day as prescribed by your doctor.
• Precautions: Ensure to follow the prescribed dosage instructions to avoid side effects. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless instructed by a healthcare professional.

 

Side Effects:

 

While CHOLEDUCE is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

• Constipation: This is the most common side effect due to the resin's binding properties.
• Bloating and Gas: Some users may feel bloated or experience excessive gas.
• Nausea or Indigestion: Occasionally, users may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Vitamin Deficiencies: Prolonged use of bile acid sequestrants may lead to deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), so monitoring and supplementation may be necessary.
• Rare Effects: In rare cases, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling may occur. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any severe reactions.
