How To Use Uniphyl
UNIPHYL: UNIPHYL is usually taken once a day. Swallow each tablet whole. Do not crush or chew the tablet. It may destroy the long action and increase the possibility of side effects. UNIPHYL should be taken with the evening meal (between 6PM to 8PM) for best results UNIPHYL works best if a constant level is maintained in the body. Do this by taking dose(s) at the same time everyday.
Uniphyl Uses
UNIPHYL improves breathing by opening air passages in the lungs. It is used in the treatment of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.
