Uses of Glycoflo F Capsule 30
Glycoflo F Capsule 30 is used for the long-term maintenance treatment of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, working to prevent airflow obstruction, improve overall lung function, and reduce breathing difficulties and the frequency of COPD exacerbations.
Directions for Use of Glycoflo F Capsule 30
Follow these instructions while taking Glycoflo F Capsule 30:
Take this medicine only with the special dry powder inhaler device provided.
Never swallow the capsule; it is intended for inhalation only.
Pierce the capsule as directed in your inhaler device.
Inhale the powder deeply through your mouth.
After inhaling, hold your breath for a few seconds for the best results.
Discard the empty capsule shell after use.
Route of Administration
Glycoflo F Capsule 30 is administered via inhalation.
Side Effects of Glycoflo F Capsule 30
Glycoflo F Capsule 30 may cause common side effects such as dry mouth, headache, throat irritation, nausea, urinary retention (inability to fully empty the bladder), and paradoxical bronchospasm, where breathing suddenly worsens instead of improving after using the inhaler.
Managing the Side Effects:
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, and resolve on discontinuing the use of Glycoflo F Capsule 30. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some ways to manage common side effects:
Dry mouth: Try taking the medicine after meals and drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Nausea: Consider taking this medicine with food to reduce stomach discomfort.
How Glycoflo F Capsule 30 Works?
Glycoflo F Capsule 30 contains two active ingredients:
Glycopyrrolate (25 mcg): This acts as a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) that blocks acetylcholine receptors in the airways, reducing mucus secretion and preventing the narrowing of airways caused by the nervous system.
Formoterol fumarate (12 mcg): This is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) that relaxes the smooth muscles surrounding your airways, allowing them to widen and improving airflow to your lungs.
Safety Measures & Warnings
Pregnancy
Caution is advised while taking Glycoflo F Capsule 30 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Breastfeeding
Caution is advised while taking Glycoflo F Capsule 30 if you are breastfeeding. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Alcohol
Avoid drinking alcohol during treatment with Glycoflo F Capsule 30. Alcohol might increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness.
Liver
Caution is advised while taking Glycoflo F Capsule 30 if you have liver problems. If you have a history of liver disease, discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.
Kidney
Caution is advised before taking Glycoflo F Capsule 30 if you have a history of any kidney problems. It is advisable to consult your doctor before taking this medication.
Using Machines & Driving
This medicine may cause dizziness in some people. If you feel dizzy after taking Glycoflo F Capsule 30, avoid driving or operating machinery until you feel completely alert and your vision is clear.
Allergy
Glycoflo F Capsule 30 should not be taken if you are allergic to formoterol, glycopyrrolate, or any other ingredients in the medicine. The capsules contain lactose, so caution is advised if you have lactose intolerance or a milk protein allergy.
Children
Caution is advised while giving Glycoflo F Capsule 30 to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.
Older Patients
Older patients should take Glycoflo F Capsule 30 under medical supervision, as they may be more susceptible to side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your overall health status.
Interactions of Glycoflo F Capsule 30
Drug-Drug Interactions
Glycoflo F Capsule 30 interacts with the following medicines:
Beta-blockers: Medicines like propranolol or atenolol may reduce the effectiveness of formoterol in Glycoflo F Capsule 30, potentially decreasing its bronchodilation effect.
Anticholinergic medicines: When used with other anticholinergic medicines like ipratropium or tiotropium, the glycopyrrolate in Glycoflo F Capsule 30 may increase side effects like dry mouth and urinary retention.
Diuretics: Medicines like furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide may enhance potassium-lowering effects when taken with the formoterol component of Glycoflo F Capsule 30.
QT-prolonging medicines: Medicines like amiodarone or sotalol require caution, as they may have additive effects on cardiac conduction when combined with Glycoflo F Capsule 30.
Drug-Disease Interactions
Glycoflo F Capsule 30 interacts with the following diseases:
Narrow-angle glaucoma: The glycopyrrolate component may worsen this eye condition by increasing pressure inside the eye.
Urinary retention: If you have difficulty passing urine, this medicine may worsen your condition due to its anticholinergic effects.
Heart conditions: Patients with arrhythmias or hypertension should exercise caution, as formoterol can affect heart rate and blood pressure.
Prostate enlargement: The glycopyrrolate in this medicine may worsen symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Dosage of Glycoflo F Capsule 30
Daily Dose
The daily dose of Glycoflo F Capsule 30 should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may change based on individual factors such as the severity of your COPD and response to treatment. Never exceed the prescribed dosage without consulting your doctor.
Over Dose
An overdose of Glycoflo F Capsule 30 may cause dry mouth, headache, dizziness, increased heart rate, and palpitations. You might also experience tremors, nausea, or difficulty urinating. Contact your doctor if you notice these symptoms.
Missed Dose
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Protect it from moisture and direct sunlight.
Avoid storing in bathrooms due to humidity.
Keep out of reach of children.
