-

Encouraged to avoid allergenic substances (e.g. dust, chemicals, smoke, etc)

-

Fluids aid in mobilization and expectoration of secretions - Provides patient with some means to cope with/control dyspnea and reduce air trapping - Prevents development of further attacks

DOSAGE, ROUTE AND FREQUENCY

Generic Name: Paracetamol Drops Brand Name: (Tempra, Biogesic,Neokiddielets)

. Paracetamol possesses prominent antipyretic and analgesic effects. Its anti-inflammatory activity is weak and has no clinical significance. The mechanism of action is related to depression of the prostaglandin synthesis by inhibition of the specific cell cyclooxygenase, and depression of the thermoregulatory center in the medulla oblongata.

The preparation is indicated in diseases manifesting with pain and fever: headache, toothache, mild and moderate postoperative and injury pain, high temperature, infectious diseases and chills (acute catarrhal inflammations of the upper respiratory tract, flu, small-pox, parotitis, etc.).

In children: aged from 3 months to1 year - 60-120 mg (2.5-5 ml syrup), 3-4 times daily; 1-6 years - 120-240 mg (5-10 ml syrup), 3-4 times daily; children older than 6 years 250-500 mg, 3-4 times daily. In children younger than 3 months the preparation should be used only on doctor’s prescription. Duration of the treatment in children should not exceed 5 days, whereas in adults it may be continued up to 10 days.

Paracetamol should not be used in hypersensitivity to the preparation and in severe liver diseases.

In rare cases hypersensitivity reactions, predominantly skin allergy (itching and rash), may appear. Long-term treatment with high doses may cause a toxic hepatitis with following initial symptoms: nausea, vomiting, sweating, and discomfort. Occasionally a gastrointestinal discomfort may be seen.

1. Ask first if the patient is hypersensitive to the drug. 2. The preparation should be used with care in patients with liver and renal diseases. 3.
