ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET belongs to the class of drugs called respiratory stimulants primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET is a combination of three drugs, namely: Acebrophylline (bronchodilator), Desloratadine (antihistamine), and Montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist). Acebrophylline works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Additionally, it also acts as a mucolytic (cough/sputum thinner) agent and helps in thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby helps to cough out easily and makes breathing easier by opening airways. Desloratadine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Montelukast works by blocking the action of chemicals called leukotrienes that cause inflammation (swelling) and increased mucus production in the airways. Thereby reducing inflammation, mucus production, and narrowing in the airways.   

Take ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET as prescribed. You are advised to take ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET for as long as your doctor has recommended it based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, and restlessness. Most of these side effects of ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

If you are allergic to ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If your breathing worsens or you often wake up at night with asthma or experience chest tightness in the morning, please consult a doctor immediately, as these might be signs indicating that your asthma is not controlled properly and requires an alternate or additional treatment. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET. Do not take ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET if you have a heart rhythm disorder that causes fast heartbeats. Avoid taking ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET if you have low blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, hemodynamic instability (unstable blood pressure), had a heart attack, kidney or liver diseases. 

ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET contains Acebrophylline (bronchodilator), Desloratadine (antihistamine), and Montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist) used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Acebrophylline relaxes muscles and widens the airways of the lungs. Additionally, it also acts as a mucolytic (cough/sputum thinner) agent and helps in thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, helps to cough out easily and makes breathing easier by opening airways. Desloratadine is an anti-allergic drug that helps to provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Montelukast reduces inflammation, mucus production and narrowing in the airways. ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET helps to prevent an asthma attack.

Regular monitoring of potassium levels is recommended while taking ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET as it may cause low potassium levels in the blood. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET. Do not take ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET if you have a heart rhythm disorder that causes fast heartbeats. Avoid taking ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET if you have low blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, hemodynamic instability (unstable blood pressure), had a heart attack, kidney or liver diseases.

• Eat foods rich in potassium such as tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens, and beetroots as potassium is important for lung function and a deficiency in potassium may cause breathing problems.
• Drink plenty of fluids every day to thin mucus which makes it easier to cough out. 
• Avoid foods such as cabbage, beans, garlic, onions, shrimp, pickled food, dried fruits, fried foods, carbonated drinks, wine, bottled lemon, and lime juice as it may worsen asthma symptoms.
• Exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system. Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.
• Do meditation, deep breathing, regular exercise, and try progressive muscle relaxation techniques to get relief from stress and reduce the risk of an asthma attack.
• Quit smoking as it may reduce the effectiveness of the ASTHAGRIP DM TABLET and irritate the lungs and worsen breathing problems.
