Doxomax XP Tablet (Doxofylline 400mg / Ambroxol 30mg)

Doxomax XP Tablet 10’s is a respiratory combination medication primarily used to treat cough associated with respiratory disorders like 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 with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes). Coughing occurs as a reflex action in the throat when there is mucus or any other foreign irritant in it.

The Doxomax XP Tablet 10’s consists of two medicines: Doxofylline (antibiotic) and Ambroxol (dilutes viscous cough). Doxofylline comes into the category of bronchodilators that relax the muscles of the airways and can widen up and can breathe easily. On the other hand, Ambroxol is an ‘expectorant’ (promotes the secretion of sputum/cough) and ‘mucolytic agent’ (makes sputum less viscous) to make breathing easier in asthma and COPD patients who have difficulty in breathing.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma

Doxomax XP Tablet 10’s is used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Doxomax XP Tablet 10’s is a combination of two medicines: Doxofylline and Ambroxol. Doxofylline (also known as Doxophylline) belongs to the class of bronchodilators. It works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. It minimizes the lung’s airflow obstruction, thereby relieving chest tightness, wheezing, and cough to make breathing easier. While  Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe, and nose. Doxomax XP Tablet 10’s breakdown the acid mucopolysaccharide fibers that make the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous, removing sputum efficiently by coughing. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained.

Doxomax XP Tablet 10’s is available in oral syrup, oral tablets, and inhalers. Doxomax XP Tablet 10’s in oral tablet form has to be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break it. The liquid form of Doxomax XP Tablet 10’s should be taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor.
