Description
- Active Ingredient: Doxofylline IP 400 mg.
- Indications:
- Asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Bronchospasm associated with respiratory disorders
- Mechanism of Action: Doxofylline is a xanthine derivative that works as a bronchodilator. It inhibits phosphodiesterase enzymes, leading to an increase in cyclic AMP levels, which relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways, improving airflow and reducing bronchospasm.
- Benefits:
- Provides effective relief from bronchospasm and improves airflow in patients with asthma and COPD.
- Reduces symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
- Has a favorable safety profile with fewer side effects compared to other xanthine derivatives.
- Precautions: Not recommended for individuals with a known hypersensitivity to doxofylline or any other components of the formulation. Use with caution in patients with a history of cardiovascular diseases, peptic ulcers, hyperthyroidism, or epilepsy. Regular monitoring of serum levels may be required in patients with liver or kidney impairment. Consult a healthcare provider before using during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
