Uses of Macphylline Syrup

Macphylline Capsule is used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Benefits of Macphylline Syrup

In Cough
Macphylline either loosens the mucus so a chesty cough clears it more easily, or settles the reflex behind a dry, tickly cough, depending on the type you have been given.
In Chest congestion
Macphylline thins thick mucus in the chest so it can be coughed up, easing the heaviness and rattling and helping you breathe more freely.
In Common cold symptoms
Macphylline relieves the blocked nose, cough and congestion of a cold so you can rest and get on with your day while the infection runs its course.

How Macphylline Syrup works

Macphylline Capsule is a mucolytic and bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles of the airways and also thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to breathe.

How to take Macphylline Syrup

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Macphylline Capsule is to be taken with food.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Macphylline Syrup

Most side effects of Macphylline are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Stomach upset
  • Drowsiness
  • Tremor
  • Fast heartbeat

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
