Uses of Doximax Tablet
Benefits of Doximax Tablet
In Allergic conditions
Doximax Tablet provides relief from allergic symptoms such as blocked or runny nose, sneezing and itchy or watery eyes caused by seasonal hay fever (allergic rhinitis), seasonal allergies, and allergies to other substances. It works by reducing certain substances in the body that are responsible for the allergic symptoms. It also makes breathing easier by reducing swelling in the airways. Take Doximax Tablet as prescribed by the doctor at around the same time every day. The best way to prevent allergic symptoms is to minimise exposure to allergens (things that you are allergic to) as much as possible.
In Cough
Doximax Tablet gives relief from cough due to any disease or allergy to foreign particles like dust, smoke or pollen. It relaxes the muscles of the airways and widens it. This makes it easier for air to move in and out and reduces the urge to cough. Take it in the exact dose and duration as prescribed by the doctor. Avoid dry or smoky atmospheres, and if possible, avoid going outside at times when the pollen count is high in order to prevent cough.

How Doximax Tablet works
Doximax Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Doxofylline, Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Doxofylline is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist and Levocetirizine is an antiallergic. They block different chemical messengers (leukotriene, histamine) to reduce swelling in the airways. This relieves symptoms of asthma and allergy, and makes breathing easier.
