Bronchodilator, Thenglate 100 ml & related drugs

Thenglate 100 ml is a bronchodilator, structurally classified as a Methylxanthine. Thenglate 100 ml has two distinct actions in the airways of patients with reversible obstruction; smooth muscle relaxation and suppression of the response of the airways to stimuli. Thenglate 100 ml also increases the force of contraction of diaphragmatic muscles. The half-life of Thenglate 100 ml is influenced by a number of known variables. In adult nonsmokers with uncomplicated asthma the half-life ranges from 3 to 9 hours

The dose of Thenglate 100 ml must be individualized on the basis of peak serum Thenglate 100 ml concentration measurements in order to achieve a dose that will provide maximum potential benefit with minimal risk of adverse effects. Most of the sustained release preparations may be administered every 12 hours in adults while administration every 8 hours may be necessary in some children with markedly rapid hepaticmetabolism of Thenglate 100 ml. The recommended maintenance dose within accepted therapeutic range is as follows : 16 years or older: 10 mg/Kg/day (Do not exceed 900 mg/day) 12 years-15 years: 13 mg/Kg/day 9-11 years: 16 mg/Kg/day 1 year-8 years: 24-24 mg/Kg/day 6 months-1 year: 12-18 mg/Kg/day 1-6 months: 10 mg/Kg/day.

Thenglate 100 ml should not be used concurrently with other preparations containing xanthine derivatives. The clearance of Thenglate 100 ml is increased by barbiturates, carbamazepine, lithium, phenytoin, rifampicin and sulphinpyrazone and it may therefore be necessary to increase dosage. On the other hand, the clearance of the drug is reduced by allopurinol, cimetidine, ciprofloxacin, corticosteroids, erythromycin, frusemide, isoprenaline, oral contraceptive and thiabendazole and a reduced dosage may therefore be needed to avoid side effects. Thenglate 100 ml can potentiate hypokalemia resulting from beta-2-agonist therapy, steroids, diuretics and hypoxia, so serum potassium levels should be monitored in such instances.

Thenglate 100 ml is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to Thenglate 100 ml or any other component of the product.

Generally side effects are rare at normal dosage. It may include gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, nausea, insomnia and hypotension. CNS stimulation and diuresis may also occur, especially in children.

It is not known whether Thenglate 100 ml can cause foetal harm when administered to pregnant woman. Xanthines should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Thenglate 100 ml is excreted into breast milk and may cause irritability or other signs of mild toxicity in nursing human infants. Serious adverse effects in the infant are unlikely unless the mother has toxic serum Thenglate 100 ml concentrations.

Careful consideration is needed for various interacting drugs and physiologic conditions that can alter Thenglate 100 ml clearance. Dosage adjustment is required prior to initiation of Thenglate 100 ml therapy, prior to increases in Thenglate 100 ml dose, and during follow up. The dose of Thenglate 100 ml selected for initiation of therapy should be low and, if tolerated, increased slowly over a period of time.

Keep all medicines out of reach of children. Store in a cool and dry place, protected from light.

Pediatrics use: The clearance of Thenglate 100 ml is very low in neonates. Careful attention to dosage selection and monitoring of serum Thenglate 100 ml concentrations are required in pediatric patients.
