Adilin 40mg Tablet SR

Introduction

Adilin is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Isoxsuprine. It is available in tablet form and is commonly used to treat certain conditions related to blood circulation.

Uses

Adilin is primarily prescribed to improve blood flow in certain parts of the body. It is commonly used in the management of peripheral vascular diseases, such as intermittent claudication (painful cramping in the legs during exercise due to reduced blood flow) and Raynaud’s phenomenon (a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the fingers and toes, resulting in color changes and pain).

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Adilin may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient’s response to the medication. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the recommended dose for adults is one tablet taken orally two to three times a day, with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole and should not be crushed or chewed.

Mechanism of Action

Isoxsuprine, the active ingredient in Adilin, works by dilating (widening) the blood vessels, which helps improve blood flow to affected areas. It acts as a vasodilator, relaxing the smooth muscles in the blood vessels and allowing for increased blood flow. By improving blood circulation, Adilin can help alleviate symptoms associated with reduced blood flow, such as pain and cramping.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, flushing, and increased heart rate. These side effects are usually mild and transient, and they often resolve on their own without any specific treatment.

However, be aware of serious side effects that may require medical attention. These can include chest pain, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing, swelling of the hands or feet, and signs of an allergic reaction (such as rash, itching, or swelling). If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Adilin may interact with certain medications, potentially affecting how they work or increasing the risk of side effects. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements. Common drug interactions may occur with medications that affect blood pressure, heart rate, or blood thinning.

Precautions

Before starting treatment with Adilin, inform your healthcare professional about any underlying medical conditions, including a history of heart disease, kidney or liver problems, or bleeding disorders. Additionally. Disclose any allergies or sensitivities to medications.

Adilin is not recommended for use in certain situations, such as during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Discuss the potential risks and benefits with your healthcare professional before starting or continuing treatment.

Adilin should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not use Adilin after the expiration date printed on the packaging.
