HUSTAGIL Inhalation (Liquid)/Oil form

What is HUSTAGIL

HUSTAGIL is a natural, oil-based inhalation therapy designed to provide respiratory relief and promote easier breathing. It comes in a 10ml liquid/oil form and is primarily composed of four essential oils known for their therapeutic effects: Clove Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Pine Oil, and Thyme Oil.

• Clove Oil: Contains eugenol, which has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce throat irritation and coughing.
• Eucalyptus Oil: Known for its decongestant and antimicrobial effects; it helps to clear nasal passages and supports respiratory function.
• Pine Oil: Acts as a bronchodilator and has anti-inflammatory actions, easing breathing in conditions like colds or sinus congestion.
• Thyme Oil: A natural antiseptic and expectorant that helps to loosen phlegm and improve airflow.

HUSTAGIL is often used in the management of:

• Upper respiratory tract infections
• Common colds and flu
• Sinus congestion
• Allergic rhinitis
• Dry or productive coughs

As a natural inhalant, HUSTAGIL is suitable for adults and older children (typically above 6 years), offering an alternative or adjunct to conventional medications for managing respiratory discomfort.

How to use HUSTAGIL

Proper usage of HUSTAGIL ensures maximum effectiveness and minimizes potential irritation. As an inhalation-based therapy, it’s vital to follow directions for use carefully.

• Steam Inhalation:
• Boil water and pour it into a bowl.
• Add 3–5 drops of HUSTAGIL to the hot water.
• Place a towel over your head and inhale the steam deeply through your nose and mouth for 5–10 minutes.
• Repeat 1–2 times daily, preferably in the morning and before bed.
• Room Diffuser:
• Add the recommended number of drops (typically 5–8) into your ultrasonic diffuser filled with water.
• Let the aromatic vapor disperse into your room to help reduce nasal congestion and ease breathing.
• Topical Application for Inhalation (if advised):
• Dilute 1–2 drops of HUSTAGIL in a carrier oil (like coconut or almond oil).
• Rub gently onto the chest or under the nose (do not apply directly to mucous membranes).

Important Tips:

• Do not ingest the oil.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes and sensitive skin areas.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Mode of Action HUSTAGIL

HUSTAGIL works by combining the synergistic effects of its essential oil components to support respiratory health, reduce inflammation, and promote decongestion through inhalation therapy.

• Clove Oil (Eugenol):
  • Has natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Soothes irritated mucosa and reduces coughing fits.
• Eucalyptus Oil (Eucalyptol):
  • Stimulates cold receptors in the nose, promoting a cooling sensation and reducing nasal stuffiness.
  • Exhibits antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, aiding in pathogen clearance from airways.
• Pine Oil:
  • Acts as a mild expectorant, helping to loosen and expel mucus.
  • Reduces bronchial spasms and promotes easier breathing.
• Thyme Oil (Thymol):
  • Works as a potent antibacterial and antifungal agent.
  • Helps soothe coughs and relieve sinus pressure.

When inhaled, the volatile compounds from these oils are absorbed through the respiratory tract, interacting with the mucosal linings and olfactory pathways, providing both symptomatic relief and therapeutic effects at the site of irritation.

HUSTAGIL Interactions HUSTAGIL

Since HUSTAGIL is a blend of essential oils administered via inhalation, systemic interactions are minimal. However, interactions can still occur, especially if used alongside other inhalants, medications, or skin applications. Caution should be exercised in the following cases:

• Other Respiratory Medications:
  • Using bronchodilators (e.g., salbutamol) concurrently may cause overstimulation or irritation of airways.
• Topical Medications:
  • Essential oils can enhance skin permeability, potentially increasing the absorption of topical drugs unintentionally.
• Anticoagulants:
  • Clove oil (containing eugenol) may have mild blood-thinning properties, so caution is advised in patients on warfarin or aspirin.
• Neurological Medications:
  • High doses of eucalyptus or thyme oil may lower the seizure threshold; avoid in patients on antiepileptic drugs unless approved by a physician.

Recommendations:

• Always consult a healthcare provider before combining HUSTAGIL with prescribed medications.
• Monitor for signs of respiratory distress or hypersensitivity if used with other inhalation therapies.

Dosage of HUSTAGIL

The dosage of HUSTAGIL depends on the mode of administration and the age of the user. It is essential to follow the recommended guidelines to avoid irritation or side effects.

• Adults:
  • Steam inhalation: 3–5 drops in a bowl of hot water, 1–2 times daily.
  • Room diffuser: 5–8 drops per session.
• Children (6+ years):
  • Reduce dose to 1–2 drops in steam or diffuser.
  • Consult a pediatrician before use in children under 6 years.
• Topical use (if allowed):
  • Always dilute in carrier oil (e.g., 1 drop per 1 tsp of carrier oil).

Do not exceed 2 sessions per day unless advised by a healthcare provider. Prolonged exposure or high concentrations may lead to respiratory irritation.

Possible side effects of HUSTAGIL

HUSTAGIL is generally well tolerated when used appropriately. However, as it contains potent essential oils, side effects can occur, particularly in sensitive individuals or if misused.

• Common Side Effects:
  • Mild irritation of the nasal or throat mucosa
  • Coughing or sneezing during steam inhalation
  • Tearing or eye irritation from steam exposure
• Less Common Side Effects:
  • Headache or dizziness due to strong aromas
  • Nausea (especially if used in an enclosed, poorly ventilated space)
• Allergic Reactions (Rare):
  • Skin rash or redness
  • Swelling of lips, face, or throat (seek emergency care)
  • Wheezing or difficulty breathing

To minimize risk, always perform a patch test before topical use and start with low dosages during inhalation.

HUSTAGIL Contraindications HUSTAGIL

Though HUSTAGIL is natural, certain conditions and patient groups should avoid its use due to potential adverse effects.

• Children under 6 years old: Risk of respiratory distress or spasm due to strong oils.
• Asthma or COPD patients: Inhalation may trigger bronchospasm in sensitive individuals.
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women: Safety data is limited; avoid unless approved by a healthcare provider.
• Seizure disorders: Some essential oils (e.g., eucalyptus and thyme) can lower seizure threshold.
• Allergies to any listed ingredients: Known hypersensitivity is a contraindication.
• Open wounds or inflamed skin (for topical use): May cause irritation or burning sensation.

Always consult a doctor before starting HUSTAGIL, especially if you are on medication, have chronic conditions, or are pregnant.

Storage of HUSTAGIL

Proper storage of HUSTAGIL helps maintain its efficacy and prevents degradation of the essential oils.

• Storage Temperature: Keep in a cool, dry place, ideally below 25°C (77°F).
• Container: Store in the original amber glass bottle to protect from light, which can degrade essential oils.
• Cap tightly: Always close the lid tightly after use to prevent oxidation and evaporation.
• Keep away from moisture: Do not store in the bathroom or near a steam source.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets: Essential oils are potent and should not be ingested or misused.
• Do not refrigerate: Chilling may alter the oil’s viscosity and aroma, though it will not spoil the product.

Shelf Life: Generally stable for 2 years if stored properly. Check expiry date before use.
