Description
- Doxonorm is used to treat bronchial asthma, bronchospasm, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary disease with spastic bronchial component.
- Doxophylline selectively inhibits phosphodiesterase 4 thereby relaxes bronchial smooth muscle.
- Dosage for elderly: 200 mg tablet two or three times daily. Adults: 400 mg tablet two or three times daily. Children above 12 years: 10 ml syrup or 200 mg tablet two or three times daily. Children 6-12 years: 6-9 mg/kg body weight two times daily. If required daily dose of Doxophylline is 400 mg then Doxophylline SR tablet to be taken once daily or as prescribed by the physician.
- Doxonorm should not be administered with other xanthine preparations. It is recommended to limit consumption of beverages and food containing caffeine.
- Doxophylline is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to the drug or other xanthine derivatives. It is also contraindicated in patients with acute myocardial infarction, hypotension and during lactation.
- Patients treated with xanthine derivatives may suffer nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, headache, irritability, insomnia, tachycardia, extrasystoles, tachypnea and in rare cases hyperglycemia or albuminuria.
- Animal tests have shown that the active ingredient of Doxophylline does not interfere with pre and postnatal growth. However, as there is not sufficient clinical evidence about the effects of the drug during pregnancy, use of the drug during pregnancy should be evaluated carefully case by case on the basis of the risk-benefit ratio. The drug is contraindicated during lactation.
- The product does not affect the patient's alertness and therefore does not interfere with his/her ability to drive and use machines.
- Numerous factors may reduce the hepatic clearance of xanthine derivatives with increased plasma levels of the drug. These factors include age, congestive cardiac decompensation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe liver disease, concomitant infections, and the concurrent administration of several drugs such as: erythromycin, TAO, lincomycin, clindamycin, allopurinol, cimetidine, influenza vaccine and propanolol.
- In case of overdose severe cardiac arrhythmias and tonic-clonic seizure may occur. These effects may represent the first signs of intoxication. The appearance of side effects may require discontinuation of the treatment which, if necessary, at the physician's discretion, may be resumed at lower doses after all signs and symptoms of toxicity have subsided.
- Keep in a dry place away from light and heat. Keep out of the reach of children. Doxonorm should be used only on prescription of specialist physician.
