• Manufacturer: R&S Pharmaceutical (Distributed by Pamper)

• Therapeutic Class: Methylxanthine Bronchodilator

   

Full Description & Mechanism

Fenadox is a modern bronchodilator used to treat chronic obstructive airway diseases. Its active ingredient, Doxofylline, works by:

• Relaxing Smooth Muscles: It targets the muscles surrounding the bronchial tubes in the lungs, causing them to widen (dilate).

   

• Improving Airflow: By opening the airways, it significantly reduces the effort required to breathe.

   

• Selective Action: Unlike older drugs in its class (like Theophylline), Fenadox has a lower affinity for adenosine receptors. This means it provides the same breathing relief but with significantly fewer side effects on the heart and nervous system.

   

Indications (What it treats)

Fenadox is primarily prescribed for:

1. Bronchial Asthma: To prevent and manage wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

    

2. COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): Including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

    

3. Pulmonary Disease with Spastic Component: Any lung condition where the airways are constricted or "spasming."
