Fenspiride is a medication used to treat respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, rhinopharyngitis, and other acute or chronic respiratory diseases. It works by reducing inflammation and mucus hypersecretion, with anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and bronchodilatory properties.
It is indicated for relieving respiratory symptoms such as cough and breathing difficulties and is available in tablet or syrup form. The dosage and duration of treatment are determined by the doctor based on the patient’s age and condition.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and drowsiness. Rarely, severe allergic reactions or cardiac issues, such as QT interval prolongation, may occur.
Fenspiride should be used as directed by a doctor. In some countries, its use has been restricted due to the risk of cardiac side effects.
