Ventidox-M Tablet 10's
Ventidox-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.

Health Queries

I have asthma that usually flares up every March-April. I have been taking Foracort 200 Rotacaps twice daily for the past month and Ventidox-M tablet (Doxofylline and Montelukast) at night for the past four days, which has kept my symptoms stable as per my doctor?s advice last year. I am currently travelling. If I experience symptoms, can I take an extra dose of Ventidox-M as needed?

Dr. S Aneela

You should not take an extra dose of Ventidox-M without consulting your doctor, as it may increase the risk of side effects. If your asthma symptoms worsen while travelling, use your rescue inhaler (such as Salbutamol) if prescribed. Monitor your symptoms closely, and seek medical advice promptly if you experience persistent breathlessness, wheezing, or any other concerning symptoms.

To manage asthma effectively, use your inhalers exactly as prescribed and avoid triggers like dust, smoke, and cold air. Monitor your symptoms regularly, maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercise carefully, and keep a clear action plan for any flare-ups.

Please recommend treatment options and medications for bone and joint issues along with asthma.

For bone and joint issues, treatment often includes pain relief with acetaminophen or NSAIDs (if safe), physiotherapy, and calcium and vitamin D supplements. For asthma, continue using your prescribed inhalers and avoid triggers. Always consult your doctor to ensure the medications are safe to use together and suitable for your health.
