DERIPHYLLIN M TAB.

About

DERIPHYLLIN M TAB. is a bronchodilator combination medication containing Etophylline and Theophylline, primarily used for the treatment of various respiratory conditions. Both active ingredients belong to the xanthine class and work by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, leading to bronchodilation. This action helps to widen the air passages in the lungs, making breathing easier. Etophylline is a derivative of Theophylline, and their combination provides a synergistic effect, offering more sustained and effective bronchodilation. This medication is particularly beneficial for patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema, where reversible airway obstruction is a key feature. It helps to reduce symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
