Before 1995 (the year they actually quit selling Marax to Americans here in the USA), it was manufactured by Pfizer and contained Amphetamine (10 or 100 mg dosages), Theophylline (bronchial dilate) and an Antihistamine.... The reason why they stopped using Amphetamine and replaced it with Ephedrine, is so they wouldn't get sued up the arse royally.... I have every serious side effect from being prescribed Marax from 1970 to 1995.... I have an old medical drug dictionary in storage, that has Marax' ingredients in it, and my prescriptions were the 100mg dosages.

As a child, I was given Marax to help when I had an asthma attack. I remember being afraid to take the Marax pill. It would make me sleepy. When I would go to bed I would feel paralyzed. I had the feeling that if I allowed myself to fall asleep, I would die. It felt as though a great weight was pressing on my body. I couldn't move. As an adult I have learned that I may be malignant hyperthermia susceptible. I am curious if there is a correlation between the drug Marax and malignant hyperthermia. ## Hello, Kathleen! How are you? I'm sorry about everything you've been through. It's a shame that as a child it wasn't explained to you that those are all just symptoms of dreams. Sleep paralysis like that occurs in many people and is fairly common, especially under the infl...

I was prescribed MARAX (Mfg: Pfizer) in 1967. from 1967 to 2009 or 2010 till the medicine was pulledout from market for reasons unknown. Really a wonderfull combination. uduring that 40 years no side effects were observed, Since 2009/10 Ihave been using TEDRAL SA. Though not much effective as much as MARAX, THIS combination also worked well.I am 67 years old now (retired technical officer from min.of.defence)with very active life.Sine few months,TEDRAL SA is not available.Is any other substitute available ?

marax tablet is not availbe please tell me saame combination of tablet bcz my mom suffering lot of problem please help me

I took tedral from the age of 10 through adulthood. I Have never been able to complete anything. My ability to focus is severly limited. The drug always made me very hyped and anxious. And the condition seemed to remain throughout my life. I get exited very easily and my adrenalin levels go through the roof. I often felt that my present condition was caused by this drug and often wondered why it was so quietly taken off the market. I later developed addiction to stimulants such as cocaine, crystal methamphetamine. Those substances produce much of the same effects as tedral and marax. I believe that most of my emotional problems in life were tired the side effects of these drugs that set my central nervous system on fire. ## You are not alone. My sister has a similar experience with Tedr...
