Hyperneb 3% Respules (4ml Each)

Introduction

Hyperneb is a prescription medication that contains Sodium Chloride as its active ingredient. It is available in the form of respules and is used for specific medical conditions.

Uses

Hyperneb is primarily prescribed to treat respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and bronchiectasis. It helps in thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear the air passages. This medication is commonly used in nebulizers for inhalation.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and administration of Hyperneb may vary depending on the individual’s specific medical condition and the healthcare professional’s instructions. Follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.

Typically, Hyperneb is administered through a nebulizer, which is a device that converts the medication into a fine mist for inhalation. The recommended dose and frequency will be determined by your healthcare provider. Use the medication exactly as directed, and not to exceed the prescribed dose.

Mechanism of Action

The active ingredient, Sodium Chloride, in Hyperneb works by increasing the moisture content and thinning the mucus in the airways. This helps in the clearance of mucus and facilitates easier breathing. Sodium Chloride is a saline solution that helps to hydrate the respiratory tract, making it easier to expel mucus and reduce congestion.

Side Effects

Common side effects that may occur include coughing, throat irritation, hoarseness, and a salty taste in the mouth. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or worsen, it is advised to consult your healthcare professional.

In rare cases, serious side effects may occur. These can include allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.
