Franol is a combination bronchodilator used to manage chronic respiratory conditions. It contains two active ingredients that work together to open the airways in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. It is a traditional and effective treatment for individuals who suffer from persistent chest tightness and wheezing.
This product is primarily indicated for the symptomatic relief of breathing difficulties. It is used for:
Bronchial Asthma: Helps manage chronic asthma by keeping the airways open.
Bronchitis: Relieves the airway constriction associated with chronic inflammation of the bronchial tubes.
Emphysema: Aids in easing the breathing effort for those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Franol utilizes a dual-action formula:
Theophylline: A bronchodilator that relaxes the smooth muscles in the bronchial tubes and reduces the lungs' response to irritants.
Ephedrine Hydrochloride: A decongestant and bronchodilator that helps reduce swelling in the mucous membranes and further opens the air passages.
Adults: Usually one tablet taken three times daily.
Night-time Relief: An extra dose may be taken at bedtime if nocturnal wheezing is a significant problem.
Note: Dosage must be strictly followed. Theophylline levels in the blood must stay within a specific range to be both effective and safe.
To ensure the best results:
Consistency: Take the tablets at regular intervals to maintain steady levels of the medication in your bloodstream.
With Water: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
Monitor Caffeine: Limit intake of caffeine (coffee, tea, cola), as caffeine can increase the side effects of Theophylline, such as heart palpitations or jitters.
Indicated For: Adults requiring maintenance therapy for chronic obstructive airway diseases.
Precautions: Not recommended for children unless specifically prescribed by a specialist.
Medical Consultation: Consult our pharmacist if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid problems, or glaucoma, as the Ephedrine component can affect these conditions.
Q: Can I use Franol for a sudden, severe asthma attack?
A: No. Franol is a maintenance medication. In the event of an acute, sudden attack, you must use a "rescue" inhaler (like Ventolin/Salbutamol) for immediate relief.
Q: Will it keep me awake?
A: Ephedrine is a stimulant and may cause insomnia or restlessness in some users, especially if taken late in the evening.
Q: Can I take this with other cold medicines?
A: You should avoid taking Franol with other medicines containing decongestants (like many flu syrups), as this can lead to an unsafe increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
