How should Macphylline Capsule be taken?

Is it okay to take furosemide along with Macphylline Capsule?
Care should be taken when combining furosemide and Macphylline Capsule. This is because their use together may lead to a decrease in potassium levels, so regular monitoring of your potassium levels is recommended by your doctor.
When should Macphylline Capsule be avoided?
Macphylline Capsule is not appropriate for individuals with known allergies to ambroxol, theophylline, or Macphylline Capsule itself. Moreover, people with pre-existing conditions such as low blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, a history of heart attacks, liver disease, or kidney disorders should consult their doctor before taking this medication.
Is Macphylline Capsule the same as theophylline?
Macphylline Capsule contains ambroxol and theophylline. These components work by increasing mucus fluidity, making it easier to breathe and clearing airways. This results in better respiratory function compared to just using theophylline alone. Furthermore, Macphylline Capsule often reduces the need for other asthma medications such as salbutamol.
