The image shows DAXLIN-AM, a combination medication containing Doxofylline and Ambroxol Hydrochloride. This formulation is primarily used to manage respiratory conditions characterized by airway obstruction and excessive mucus.

Composition and Mechanism

This tablet combines two different classes of drugs to provide comprehensive relief for lung-related issues:

1. Doxofylline: A bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways of the lungs, making it easier for air to move in and out. Unlike some older drugs in its class, it typically has fewer cardiac side effects.

2. Ambroxol Hydrochloride: A mucolytic agent. It thins and loosens phlegm (mucus) in the nose, windpipe, and lungs, which helps the patient cough it out more easily.

Common Uses

It is generally prescribed for the treatment and prevention of:

• Asthma: To prevent wheezing and shortness of breath.

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): To manage long-term breathing difficulties.

• Bronchitis: To relieve cough associated with thick mucus and inflammation.

Important Considerations

Note: This medication should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

• Administration: It is usually taken with food to avoid stomach upset.

• Common Side Effects: These can include nausea, headache, stomach discomfort, or a rapid heartbeat.

• Precautions: Consult a doctor if you have a history of liver or kidney disease, or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding. Avoid excessive caffeine intake, as it may increase the stimulant effects of Doxofylline.
