Be careful when taking BRONCOFIL-SR Tablet when pregnant.

There aren't many studies on the safety of Acebrophylline in pregnant women; however, animal studies haven't found any negative consequences. Because of this, you should only take it if your doctor tells you to after weighing the pros and cons.

Small amounts may go into milk when breastfeeding, so talk to your doctor before using. Don't take medicine on your own.

Expert's advice

• If you are told to take the BRONCOFIL-SR Tablet once a day, do it after a meal, preferably in the evening.
• Do not chew or break the tablet; it is supposed to dissolve slowly and release over time.
• Don't smoke, drink alcohol, or drink caffeine, as these can make breathing problems worse or interact with the medicine.
• Drink a lot of warm fluids to assist in getting rid of mucus.
• Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, keep taking the medicine as directed, even if your symptoms get better.
• Tell your doctor if you have ever had heart disease, liver or renal problems, or ulcers.
• Tell your doctor right away if you have symptoms like heart palpitations, tremors, or acute restlessness.

Side effects

• Feeling sick or throwing up
• Upset stomach or too much acid

• Heart rate that goes up (palpitations)
• Effects that are rare but serious:
• Feeling tight in the chest or having an erratic heartbeat
• Rash, swelling, or trouble breathing due to an allergy
• If you have any major adverse effects, stop taking the medicine and call your doctor.

How It Works

• Relaxing the muscles in the airways helps open up the bronchi and bronchioles, which makes breathing easier.
• Lessening the thickness of mucus—this breaks up thick mucus so that it is simpler to cough up.
• Lessening inflammation: It has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that help calm irritated airways.
• These effects make it simpler to breathe and make people with chronic respiratory disorders cough and wheeze less often.

Medicine interaction

• Antibiotics like erythromycin and ciprofloxacin raise the chance of side effects.
• Other bronchodilators or theophylline may make you shake or feel restless.
• Corticosteroids may make the stomach more irritated.
• Caffeine can make you feel more anxious or make your heart race.
• Beta-blockers can make the bronchodilator action less strong.
