Doxosal M Tablet SR

Doxosal-M Tablet SR is a combination medicine containing Doxofylline (400mg) and Montelukast (10mg). It is mainly prescribed for the treatment of asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory conditions. Doxofylline works as a bronchodilator, helping relax the airway muscles, while Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that prevents airway inflammation and narrowing. Together, they provide relief from breathing difficulties, wheezing, chest tightness, and cough. Doxosal-M Tablet SR improves lung function, reduces the frequency of asthma attacks, and enhances the quality of life for patients with long-term respiratory problems. It should be taken strictly under medical supervision.

Uses of Doxosal-M Tablet SR

• Asthma: Doxosal-M Tablet SR is commonly used to manage asthma, a chronic condition that causes breathing difficulties due to airway inflammation and narrowing. It reduces wheezing, breathlessness, and cough, helping patients breathe comfortably and lowering the risk of sudden asthma attacks.
• Chronic Bronchitis: This medicine is effective in chronic bronchitis, where the airways become swollen and filled with mucus. Doxofylline relaxes airway muscles, while Montelukast reduces inflammation, easing symptoms like coughing, chest tightness, and difficulty in breathing.
