Aero-AX Tablet SR

Introduction

Aero-AX SR is a prescription medication that contains three active ingredients: Ambroxol, Levocetirizine, and Montelukast. It is available in tablet form and is commonly prescribed by healthcare professionals.

Uses

Aero-AX SR is primarily used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and allergic rhinitis. It helps to alleviate symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, and nasal congestion associated with these conditions.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Aero-AX SR may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual patient. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional and the directions on the prescription label. Typically, the recommended dose is one tablet taken orally once daily, preferably with a meal. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, without crushing or chewing it.

Mechanism of Action

Aero-AX SR works through the combined action of its active ingredients. Ambroxol is an expectorant that helps to thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of histamine in the body, thereby relieving symptoms of allergies. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking the action of certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and constriction of the airways.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include drowsiness, headache, dry mouth, nausea, and stomach upset. These side effects are generally mild and go away on their own. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional.

Serious side effects are rare but can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing. Be aware of any unusual or severe side effects and report them to your healthcare professional promptly.

Drug Interactions

Aero-AX SR may interact with certain medications, including but not limited to sedatives, tranquilizers, and other antihistamines. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products, to avoid potential drug interactions. They can provide guidance on the safe use of Aero-AX SR in conjunction with other medications.

Precautions

Before starting Aero-AX SR, inform your healthcare professional about any existing medical conditions, including liver or kidney problems, as well as any allergies you may have. This medication may not be suitable for everyone, and your healthcare professional will determine whether it is appropriate for your specific situation.

Aero-AX SR should be used with caution in patients who have a history of certain medical conditions, such as epilepsy or seizure disorders. Follow your healthcare professional’s advice and recommendations regarding the use of this medication.

Storage

Aero-AX SR should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the medication if it has expired or if the tablets appear to be damaged or discolored. Proper storage helps maintain the effectiveness and safety of the medication.
