Frequently asked questions

Orciprenaline is effective when taken as prescribed by your doctor. Do not discontinue use prematurely, as this may lead to a return or worsening of symptoms.
Orciprenaline alleviates asthma symptoms by dilating the air passages in the lungs, facilitating easier airflow and reducing coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath, especially at night.
Take Orciprenaline as directed by your doctor, either with or without food. It is best to take it at the same time each day, preferably just before bedtime with a glass of water.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to compensate for the missed one.
