Oxyphenonium

Oxyphenonium is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: oxprenolol and isoprenaline. Oxprenolol is a beta-blocker, while isoprenaline is a beta-agonist. These two substances work together to provide a balanced treatment for certain medical conditions.
Oxyphenonium is primarily used to treat patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a long-term lung condition that makes it difficult to breathe. COPD is characterized by chronic bronchitis and emphysema, both of which cause inflammation and narrowing of the airways. By using oxyphenonium, patients can experience relief from symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing.
The beta-blocker, oxprenolol, works by reducing the heart rate and lowering blood pressure, which can help alleviate some of the strain on the lungs and improve overall breathing. On the other hand, the beta-agonist, isoprenaline, acts by relaxing and opening the airways, making it easier for the patient to breathe.
Oxyphenonium should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Patients should follow their doctor’s instructions carefully and report any adverse effects or changes in their condition immediately.
