Uses of Marax Capsule
Benefits of Marax Capsule
In Asthma
Asthma is a disease of the lungs in which your airways become narrow and as a result, breathing becomes difficult. MARAX CAPSULE works by reducing and preventing swelling and inflammation in your lungs. It is used to prevent the symptoms of asthma such as tightness in your chest, wheezing, breathlessness and coughing. MARAX CAPSULE also gives relief from symptoms of allergy such as runny nose, sneezing, throat irritation and itchy or watery eyes. This medicine will not stop an asthma attack that has already started. Regular exercise and yoga can help improve the symptoms of asthma in the long term, in addition to improving overall health.
