Introduction of Marax Capsule

MARAX CAPSULE is a combination medicine used in the prevention of asthma. It relieves allergy symptoms such as runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes and congestion or stuffiness. It also helps in relaxing the muscles of the air passages, thus widening it and making it easier to breathe.

MARAX CAPSULE is a combination of sympathomimetic agonist, first generation H1 antihistaminic, theophylline & its derivative medicines.

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.

Quick tips

Marax Capsule

  • You have been prescribed MARAX CAPSULE for the treatment of asthma.
  • If at any time your breathing gets worse, please contact your doctor or nurse for advice straightaway.
  • Inform your doctor if you have heart problems, high blood pressure or diabetes.
  • If you are due to have an operation or any dental treatment, tell the person carrying out the treatment which medicines you are taking, as some anesthetics can interfere with MARAX CAPSULE.
  • Some vaccines, such as the flu vaccine, may also affect MARAX CAPSULE levels in the body. Make sure you tell your doctor about any vaccinations you have.
  • Do not smoke. Smoking causes irritation and damage to the lungs and will make your condition worse.
  • Try to keep your regular appointments with your doctor. This is so your doctor can review your condition on a regular basis.
