DOXOMAX OD 650

Product overview

Doxomax OD Tablet is prescribed for managing asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition in which airflow to the lungs becomes restricted. The medicine works by relaxing airway muscles, widening the passages, and making breathing more comfortable.

This tablet is usually taken in the evening, preferably with food, but always follow the exact dose and schedule recommended by your doctor. It should be continued for the full course advised, and if you forget a dose, take it when you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one. Keep in mind that it does not provide immediate relief during sudden breathing difficulties, so patients should always carry a rescue inhaler for emergencies.

Benefits

For people with asthma, Doxomax OD helps reduce symptoms such as tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, and wheezing, which allows them to perform daily activities with more ease. In COPD, it improves airflow, helping to reduce flare-ups and breathing difficulties.

Possible side effects

Some individuals may experience nausea, vomiting, headache, or stomach discomfort. These reactions are generally mild and tend to settle as the body adjusts. If they persist or worsen, medical advice should be sought. Avoiding alcohol, smoking, and caffeine-rich foods such as coffee, tea, and dark chocolate can help reduce side effects.

How to take

The tablet should be swallowed whole with water, without breaking, chewing, or crushing it. Although it can be taken with or without food, it is preferable to take it at the same time daily. Foods and drinks that contain caffeine should be avoided, as they can increase the risk of unwanted effects.

How it works

Doxomax OD belongs to the class of bronchodilators. By relaxing the muscles surrounding the airways, it widens the passages, thereby improving airflow and easing the process of breathing.

Precautions and safety

People with liver, kidney, or heart-related conditions should inform their doctor before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical guidance before use, as safety data in these groups is limited. The medicine can sometimes cause dizziness or drowsiness, so activities requiring alertness, such as driving, should be avoided if these effects occur.

Missed dose

If a dose is skipped, it should be taken as soon as remembered. However, if the next scheduled dose is near, the missed dose should be skipped, and the regular dosing plan should continue. Double doses should not be taken.
