FAQs

ASTHARID TABLET contains Terbutaline, which belongs to the class of bronchodilators. It works by relaxing and opening the air passages in the lungs, making breathing easier for asthma and COPD patients.

Avoid aerated drinks, fried foods, excess salts (sodium chloride or table salt), dairy products, cruciferous veggies, cold cuts and cured meats. Besides this, avoid consuming high amounts of caffeine-containing tea, coffee, chocolate and cola, as these foods already consist of aminophylline, an active constituent of ASTHARID TABLET. Sulfites in alcoholic beverages can trigger symptoms of asthma and COPD, so avoid consuming alcoholic beverages.

No, you are not recommended to smoke while taking ASTHARID TABLET as it may reduce the effectiveness of ASTHARID TABLET and damage your lung's airways (alveoli). Long-term smoking may cause breathing problems like asthma, bronchitis and COPD. Quitting smoking is the best way to keep your lungs healthy.
