About Minvcast-FX Tablet SR

Minvcast-FX Tablet SR is used to prevent asthma and treat allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose, or watery eyes. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. An allergy is a condition that occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance that is typically not harmful to your body. These foreign substances are known as ‘allergens.’

Minvcast-FX Tablet SR is a combination of three drugs: Acebrophylline (mucolytic), Montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist), and Fexofenadine hydrochloride (antihistamine). Acebrophylline is a mucolytic (cough/sputum thinner) agent that helps thin and loosen phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Montelukast works by blocking the action of chemicals called leukotrienes that are released from the lungs, causing inflammation (swelling) and increased mucus production in the airways. Thereby reducing inflammation, mucus production, and narrowing in the airways. Fexofenadine hydrochloride belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  

Take Minvcast-FX Tablet SR as prescribed. Your doctor will decide the dose and the duration of Minvcast-FX Tablet SR use based on your medical condition. Some people may experience a skin rash, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and stomach discomfort. Most of these side effects of Minvcast-FX Tablet SR do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

If you are known to be allergic to Minvcast-FX Tablet SR or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Minvcast-FX Tablet SR. Minvcast-FX Tablet SR is not recommended for children unless advised by a doctor. Avoid alcohol consumption with Minvcast-FX Tablet SR as it may increase drowsiness. Drive only if you are alert, as Minvcast-FX Tablet SR may cause drowsiness or dizziness in some people. It is advised to maintain a 2-hour gap between taking Minvcast-FX Tablet SR and indigestion remedies containing magnesium and aluminium, as taking these medicines simultaneously may reduce the absorption of Minvcast-FX Tablet SR.

This helps to cough out easily and makes breathing easier by opening airways. Montelukast reduces inflammation, mucus production, and narrowing in the airways. Fexofenadine hydrochloride is an anti-allergic drug that blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness.
