OXYFEDRINE belongs to the group of medicines called anti-anginal drugs used to treat angina pectoris (chest pain) and myocardial infarction (heart attack). Angina pectoris is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
OXYFEDRINE contains Oxyfedrine, which works by dilating blood vessels without increasing the oxygen demand of the heart. Thereby, it improves the blood flow and helps treat angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.
In some cases, OXYFEDRINE may cause transient taste impairment. It may not require medical attention and might resolve gradually over time. However, if the condition persists or worsens, talk to your doctor.
Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects/interactions.
