Doxolin M Tablet is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). It contains Doxofylline and Montelukast, which works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. It treats the airflow obstruction in the lungs, thereby relieving chest tightness, wheezing and cough to make breathing easier. Also, it blocks the leukotrienes (chemicals released in response when a body comes in contact with an allergen), thereby reducing inflammation and swelling in the nose. It also inhibits bronchoconstriction (narrowing of airways in the lungs that lead to breathing difficulties). It may cause common side effects such as fever, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain/epigastric pain, headache, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), irritation, sore throat, increased heart rate and flu-like symptoms.

About Doxolin M Tablet

Doxolin M Tablet is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases that mainly include emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).

Doxolin M Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Doxofylline (bronchodilator) and Montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist). Doxofylline works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. It treats the airflow obstruction in the lungs, thereby relieving chest tightness, wheezing and cough to make breathing easier. Montelukast blocks the leukotrienes (chemicals released in response when a body comes in contact with an allergen), thereby reducing inflammation and swelling in the nose. It also inhibits bronchoconstriction (narrowing of airways in the lungs that lead to breathing difficulties).

Your doctor will advise the dose and duration of the course based on the severity of your disease. The common side effects of Doxolin M Tablet include fever, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain/epigastric pain, headache, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), irritation, sore throat, increased heart rate and flu-like symptoms. Most of these side effects of Doxolin M Tablet do not require any medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please reach out to your doctor.

Doxolin M Tablet is not intended for use during an acute asthma attack. Your doctor may suggest other medications for your sudden asthma attack. Please inform your doctor in advance if you have heart, liver, kidney and lung diseases, seizures (fits) and depression, phenylketonuria (birth defect caused by the build-up of an amino acid called phenylalanine in the body), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), high blood pressure, stomach ulcers and viral infections before taking Doxolin M Tablet . It is advisable to check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines before starting Doxolin M Tablet .
