INTRODUCTION ABOUT AB FLO 100MG CAPSULE
AB FLO 100MG CAPSULE is used in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It can also be used to manage inflammation of the airways (such as bronchitis). It contains Acebrophylline, which belongs to a group of medicines called Anti-asthmatic drugs that block the release of certain chemicals that are responsible for airway inflammation, swelling, and narrowing. As a result, it widens the airways and reduces airway inflammation. It also loosens the mucus accumulated in the airways, which allows the air to pass more freely through the airways and makes breathing easier.
Before taking AB FLO 100MG CAPSULE, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have fits, stomach ulcers, viral infections, hypertension, or hyperthyroidism as a precaution.

Ensure proper hydration, as dehydration can cause dizziness. Avoid excessive caffeine, alcohol, and high-sodium foods, which can exacerbate symptoms. Engage in physical therapy or vestibular rehabilitation exercises designed to improve balance and reduce dizziness. Move slowly when changing positions, such as standing up or lying down, to avoid triggering dizziness. Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to manage stress, which can contribute to dizziness. Consult your doctor if dizziness persists.
Nausea And Vomiting
Stay hydrated with small sips of clear fluids like water, ginger ale, or electrolyte solutions. Avoid consuming large meals; instead, opt for bland, easy-to-digest foods. Ginger, peppermint, or chamomile tea may help soothe the stomach. Rest in a comfortable position, preferably with your head elevated, to ease symptoms. Consult your doctor if nausea and vomiting persist.
