Let 2mg/100mg Tablet

Introduction

Let is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: Salbutamol and Theophylline. It is primarily used to treat and manage respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The combination of Salbutamol and Theophylline helps to relax the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe.

Uses

Let is prescribed to individuals who have asthma or COPD. It can help relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. By opening up the airways, this medication allows for better airflow and improves respiratory function.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Let may vary depending on the individual’s age, weight, and the severity of their condition. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Typically, the recommended dose for adults is one tablet taken orally every 8 to 12 hours. However, your doctor may adjust the dosage based on your specific needs. Avoid exceeding the prescribed dose.

Mechanism of Action

Let contains two active ingredients, Salbutamol and Theophylline, which work synergistically to provide therapeutic effects. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, allowing for easier breathing. Theophylline, on the other hand, helps to open up the airways by relaxing the muscles and reducing inflammation. Together, these ingredients help to improve lung function and alleviate respiratory symptoms.

Side Effects

Common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, tremors, and increased heart rate. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

Let may interact with certain medications, so inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking. Some medications that may interact with Let include beta-blockers, diuretics, and certain antibiotics. These interactions can affect the effectiveness of the medication or increase the risk of side effects. Your healthcare professional will be able to guide you on the appropriate use of Let with other medications.

Precautions

Before taking Let, inform your healthcare professional about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have a history of heart problems, high blood pressure, seizures, or thyroid disorders. Additionally, inform your healthcare professional about any allergies you may have. Let may not be suitable for everyone, and your healthcare professional will determine if it is safe for you to use based on your individual circumstances.

Storage

Let should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in its original packaging, and make sure it is out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the medication if it has expired or if the packaging is damaged.
