The effectiveness of compound methoxyphenamine capsules in treating cough is generally quite good.
Compound methoxyphenamine capsules are a combination formulation, with main ingredients including methoxyphenamine hydrochloride, narcotine, aminophylline, and others. They are primarily used to treat coughing, wheezing, and other respiratory symptoms—such as sputum production—caused by asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory diseases. The therapeutic effect is usually satisfactory.
However, certain precautions must be observed when using this medication. It should not be used in patients with severe cardiovascular disease, acute asthmatic attacks, peptic ulcers, or children under eight years of age, as it may worsen their conditions. It is recommended to take compound methoxyphenamine capsules after meals to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. During treatment, driving vehicles or operating machinery should be avoided.
This medication should always be used under the guidance of a physician. Additionally, it's important to maintain healthy lifestyle habits. Diet should be light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Patients should drink plenty of water and consume more vegetables and fruits.
