Common Use

Ilaxten tablets are used for the long-term treatment and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and may also be prescribed for asthma in adults. The medication works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, helping improve airflow and making breathing easier.

Dosage and Direction

Take Ilaxten tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The medication is usually taken once daily with water, preferably at the same time each day. Tablets may be taken with or without food. Do not crush or chew the tablets unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.

Precautions

Before taking Ilaxten, inform your doctor if you have glaucoma, urinary retention, prostate enlargement, heart disease, kidney problems, or liver disorders. Contact your doctor if you experience difficulty urinating, eye pain, rapid heartbeat, or worsening breathing symptoms. Ilaxten should not be used for sudden breathing attacks.
