| Mucophylline |
Mucolytic, Bronchodilator Composition: Each teaspoonful (Smi) contains:
Bromhexine hydrochloride 4 mg.
Acephylline piperazine 100 mg.Properties: Mucophylline acts on the bronchial tree clearing it from the viscid sputum and relaxing its constricted muscles providing an efficient symptomatic treatment in most respiratory ailments through the action of its two active ingredients.
Bromhexine hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent which acts by depolymerization of the mucopolysaccharide ground substance of the sputum increasing its fluidity so facilitates its expectoration and consequently minimizes the intensity and frequency of cough. Acephylline piperazine. The other active ingredient in MUCOPHYLLINE is a theophylline derivative with a direct bronchodilator action. It has the advantages over theophylline in being far less toxic and by producing minimal gastric irritation. Indications and usage: - Cough specially when associated with
bronchospasm in such conditions as: asthma, emphysema, acute & chronic bronchitis, chronic inflammatory lung diseases, inhalation of irritants, etc. - To facilitate expectoration of contrast media or other abnormal fluids from the bronchial tree. The following side effects, contraindications, precautions, drug interaction are those of theophylline derivative in general. Contra-indications: - Hypersensitivity to xanthines. - Severe renal or hepatic impairment. - Gastritis and active peptic ulcer. - Rapid cardiac arrythmias, and acute coronary heart
disease when myocardial stimulation might be
harmful. Side effects: Occasionally occur in the form of one or more of the

following: - Gastrointestinal disturbance: epigastiic pain, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea. - C.N.S stimulation: irritability (specially in children).
Nervousness, insomnia, headache. - Palpitations, tachycardia, extrasystoles. - Tachypnea, Transient urinary frequency. Drug interactions: - Xanthine derivatives may; - Produce excessive C.N.S stimulation when given
with ephedrine or other sympathomimetics specially
in children (in the very youngs convulsions may
occur) - Enhance the toxicity of digitalis glycosides. - The bronchodilator action of xanthines may be
antagonized by beta-adrenergic blockers & reduced
by smoking. - Tachycardia may occur when xanthines are given
with reserpine or sympathomimetics.
• Increased serum levels and effects of theophylline
