Quick tips

Maxgalin 150 Capsule should be taken exactly as per the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor.
It may cause sleepiness. Do not drive or perform any activity that requires concentration until you know how it affects you.
It may cause blurring or loss of vision. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice any changes in your vision.
