Zokul D 0.5mg/15mg/50mg Tablet

Introduction

Zokul D is a prescription medication that contains three active ingredients: Levosalbutamol, Ambroxol, and Guaifenesin. It is available in tablet form and is commonly used to treat respiratory conditions such as cough, bronchitis, and asthma.

Uses

Zokul D is prescribed to alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory conditions, including coughing, chest congestion, and difficulty breathing. It helps to open up the airways, reduce mucus production, and promote easier breathing. This medication is often used as a supportive treatment in the management of respiratory disorders.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Zokul D may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual patient. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Typically, the recommended dosage for adults is one tablet taken orally two to three times a day. However. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for the appropriate dosage for your specific needs.

Mechanism of Action

Levosalbutamol in Zokul D is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, allowing for easier breathing. Ambroxol is an expectorant that helps to loosen and thin mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up. Guaifenesin is another expectorant that helps to increase the volume and reduce the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions. The combination of these active ingredients helps to alleviate respiratory symptoms and improve breathing.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and stomach discomfort. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Zokul D may interact with certain medications, including beta-blockers, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and other bronchodilators. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions. They can provide guidance on the safe use of Zokul D in combination with other medications.

Before taking Zokul D, inform your healthcare professional about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or sensitivities you may have. This medication may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions, such as heart problems, high blood pressure, or hyperthyroidism. Avoid alcohol and tobacco while using Zokul D, as they may interact with the medication and worsen its side effects. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional and ask any questions you may have before starting this medication.
