Proact 50 mcg Tablet

Proact 50 mcg Tablet contains Procaterol 50mcg, a beta-2 agonist bronchodilator. Made by Kizen Pharma, it is prescribed for asthma and wheezy bronchitis. Pack size: 2×10 tablets.

Uses of Proact 50 mcg Tablet

Proact 50 mcg Tablet is used to relieve and prevent wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness caused by narrowed airways. It is prescribed for asthma, wheezy bronchitis and other chest conditions with airway narrowing, in both adults and children. In Pakistan it is commonly given as a syrup for children with wheezy chests.

How Proact 50 mcg Tablet works

Procaterol stimulates beta-2 receptors in the muscles lining the airways, causing them to relax. This widens the airways, making breathing easier. It does not treat the underlying airway inflammation of asthma, which usually needs a preventer medicine.

Possible side effects

Proact 50 mcg Tablet may cause a few side effects, which usually ease as the body gets used to it. These include:

• Shakiness or tremor
• Fast or pounding heartbeat
• Headache
• Nervousness or restlessness
• Nausea

Get urgent medical help if breathing gets worse or your usual treatment is not working, or if you have chest pain or a very fast or irregular heartbeat.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid or diabetes.
• Taking it with steroids, diuretics or theophylline can lower potassium levels, so your doctor may monitor this.
• If you need it more often than usual, see your doctor, as your asthma may not be well controlled.
• Keep using any preventer medicine your doctor has prescribed.
• Speak to your doctor before using it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
