Filin IV Injection is a bronchodilator used for the relief of bronchospasm associated with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Filin IV Injection contains Aminophylline, which helps relax and open air passages in the lungs, making breathing easier.
Filin IV Injection should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage will be based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
Avoid taking Filin IV Injection if you are allergic to it. Inform your doctor about your complete medical history, any allergic reactions, and current medications before starting Filin IV Injection.
Caution is advised when consuming alcohol with Filin. It is best to consult your doctor for personalized advice.
Filin may be unsafe to use during pregnancy. Although there are limited studies on humans, animal studies have shown harmful effects on the development of babies. Your doctor will weigh the benefits and any potential risks before prescribing it. Please consult your doctor.
Filin is considered safe to use during breastfeeding. Human studies suggest that the drug does not pass into breast milk in significant amounts and is not harmful to the baby.
Filin does not usually affect your ability to drive. However, always follow your doctor’s advice regarding driving and operating machinery.
Filin should be used with caution in patients with kidney disease. Dose adjustment may be necessary. Please consult your doctor for appropriate guidance.
Filin should be used with caution in patients with liver disease. Dose adjustment may be necessary. Please consult your doctor for appropriate guidance.
It works by relaxing the muscles of the airways and widening the airways. This makes breathing easier.
Common side effects include gastric irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hematemesis, epigastric pain, and tremor. High doses may lead to ventricular arrhythmias or seizures, reactivation of peptic ulcers, headache, irritability, restlessness, insomnia, twitching, convulsions, reflex hyperexcitability, palpitations, tachycardia, hypotension, circulatory failure, ventricular arrhythmias, flushing, albuminuria, diuresis, hematuria, and inappropriate ADH syndrome.
Aminophylline is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of bronchospasm associated with asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. It is also used in adults for treating cardiac asthma and left ventricular or congestive cardiac failure.
Aminophylline is a combination of theophylline and ethylenediamine. Ethylenediamine increases the solubility of theophylline in water. Theophylline relaxes bronchial smooth muscle by increasing intracellular cAMP through inhibition of phosphodiesterase, antagonizing adenosine receptors, antagonizing prostaglandins, and affecting intracellular calcium.
Aminophylline may interact with various medications, including:
Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Aminophylline as it may increase drowsiness. Additionally, avoid St. John’s Wort (an antidepressant) and caffeine-containing foods or drinks, as they can interfere with Aminophylline's effectiveness.
Aminophylline should be used with caution if you have any of the following conditions:
Aminophylline should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to xanthines or ethylenediamine, or in those with active peptic ulcers, as it may increase the volume and acidity of gastric secretions.
The use of aminophylline in pregnant women should be balanced against the risk of uncontrolled disease. Always consult a doctor before using aminophylline during pregnancy or lactation.
Aminophylline should be used with caution in patients with peptic ulceration, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, other cardiovascular diseases, epilepsy, heart failure, hepatic dysfunction, chronic alcoholism, acute febrile illness, and in neonates and the elderly. These conditions may decrease theophylline clearance, leading to increased serum-theophylline concentrations and serum half-life.
