Side Effects for Oxeze

Most of the side effects of this drug such as palpitations, shaking or trembling of feet or hands, dizziness and headache are mild in nature and get better on their own as patient’s body gets used to the drug. With that said, consult your doctor if any of these symptoms become bothersome.

You should immediately contact your doctor if you experience shortness of breath, chest tightness, or irregular heartbeat. Stop using the medicine and seek medical help if you develop allergic reaction to the drug. It can be identified by shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing, trouble breathing, severe dizziness, hives or rashes on the body, and swelling or itching on the face, tongue, throat, or lips.

Precautions

You should inform your doctor if you suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythm, uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, or heart disorder. As the drug causes dizziness in some cases, you should not drive a car, operate a machine, or do any activity that require you to be alert until you are sure about how you react to Oxeze. During the treatment, your doctor may advise you to monitor your asthma with a peak flow meter.

If you are pregnant or breast feeding, you should use this medicine only if extremely necessary, as its safety during these conditions has not yet been established.

Oxeze Dosage

The recommended dosage for children between 6 to 16 years is Oxeze 6µg to 24µg daily divided into 2 doses given 12 hours apart.

If you are using the medicine for relieving acute asthma symptoms, you are likely to be asked to take Oxeze 6µg to 12µg twice daily. You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You should not discontinue the medication even if you feel that your symptoms have been relieved, until your doctor advises you to do so.
