About Durasalyn Syrup

Durasalyn Syrup is used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a breathing disorder in which the 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 your bronchial tubes).

Durasalyn Syrup contains Salbutamol, which relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Durasalyn Syrup makes breathing easier by widening the airways.

The common side effects of Durasalyn Syrup include nausea, vomiting, restlessness, tremor (shakiness), headache, muscle tightness, dryness or soreness of the throat, dizziness, sleepiness, cough, and increased heart rate. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please seek medical attention.

Brief your medical history if you have any heart, liver or kidney diseases, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), stomach ulcer, seizure (fits), high blood pressure and diabetes before taking Durasalyn Syrup . Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines.
