Indications of Purisal 3 ml

Purisal 3 ml is indicated for the treatment and prevention of bronchospasm in adults, adolescents & children of 6 years of age and older with reversible obstructive airway diseases.

Theropeutic Class

Short-acting selective & β2-adrenoceptor stimulants

Pharmacology

Purisal 3 ml is a single isomer beta-2 agonist that differs from racemic salbutamol by elimination of (S)-salbutamol. Purisal 3 ml is an effective bronchodilator whose primary mechanism of action is not inhibited by (S)-salbutamol.Thus, when compared with racemic salbutamol, clinically comparable bronchodilation can be achieved. Purisal 3 ml produces bronchodilatation through stimulation of beta-2-adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscles, thereby causing relaxation of bronchial muscle fibres.

Dosage & Administration of Purisal 3 ml

Children (6 -11 years): 5 ml (1 mg), three times daily.Adults and adolescents above 12 years: 5-10 ml (1-2 mg), three times daily.

Interaction of Purisal 3 ml

Other short-acting sympathomimetic bronchodilators or epinephrine should be used with caution with Purisal 3 ml. If additional adrenergic drugs are to be administered by any route, they should be used with caution to avoid deleterious cardiovascular effects.

Contraindications

Purisal 3 ml is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Purisal 3 ml or any of its components.

Side Effects of Purisal 3 ml

Hypocalcaemia, palpitation, fine tremors of the skeletal muscle and muscle cramps may occur. The other likely side effects are nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain and diarrhoea.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Precautions & Warnings

Particular caution is advised in acute severe asthma as this effect may be potentiated by hypoxia and by concomitant treatment with xanthine derivatives, steroids and diuretics. Serum potassium levels should be monitored in such situations.
