Doxiflo-M Tablet (Doxofylline 400mg / Montelukast 10mg)

Doxiflo-M Tablet 10’s is a respiratory medication, primarily used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases that mainly include emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).

Doxiflo-M Tablet 10’s is a combination of two medicines: Doxofylline (bronchodilator) and Montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist). Doxofylline (also known as Doxophylline) belongs to the class of bronchodilators. It effectively treats bronchial asthma, COPD and bronchospasm (tightening of airways’ muscles, causing difficulty breathing). It works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Doxofylline treats the airflow obstruction in the lungs, thereby relieving chest tightness, wheezing and cough to make breathing easier. Montelukast belongs to the class of leukotriene receptor antagonists. Leukotrienes are inflammatory chemicals that are released by the body when an allergen comes into contact. These chemicals cause swelling in the lungs and tightening of the airway’s muscles, which are the primary causes of asthma attacks. Montelukast blocks these leukotrienes, thereby reducing inflammation and swelling in the nose. It also inhibits bronchoconstriction (narrowing of airways in the lungs that lead to breathing difficulties) and is used in treating asthma and allergic rhinitis.

Doxiflo-M Tablet 10’s is available in the form of oral tablets. Your doctor will advise the dose and duration of the course based on the severity of your disease. The common side effects of Doxiflo-M Tablet 10’s include fever, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain/epigastric pain, headache, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), irritation, sore throat, increased heart rate and flu-like symptoms. Most of these side effects of Doxiflo-M Tablet 10’s do not require any medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please reach out to your doctor.

Please inform your doctor in advance if you have heart, liver, kidney and lung diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders like seizures (fits) and depression, phenylketonuria (birth defect caused by the build-up of an amino acid called phenylalanine in the body), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), high blood pressure, hypoxaemia (low levels of oxygen in the blood), stomach ulcers and viral infections before taking Doxiflo-M Tablet 10’s. Doxiflo-M Tablet 10’s is not intended for use during an acute asthma attack. Your doctor may suggest other medications for your sudden asthma attack.

Therapy with leukotriene receptor antagonists like Montelukast should be cautiously administered in patients with neuropsychiatric disorders. There are chances of developing psychiatric-type effects, including agitation, aggressive behaviour, anxiety, depression, abnormal dreams and hallucinations. Doxiflo-M Tablet 10’s is contraindicated in lactation. It is advisable to check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines before starting Doxiflo-M Tablet 10’s.

Montelukast is also used to relieve exercise-induced bronchospasm (shortness of breath that occurs only during exercise).
