About
Deriphyllin tablets contain a combination of etophylline and theophylline, both xanthine derivatives that function as bronchodilators. Theophylline primarily acts by inhibiting phosphodiesterase enzymes, leading to an increase in intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP), which results in the relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles and a reduction in inflammation. Etophylline, a derivative of theophylline, offers similar bronchodilatory effects but with potentially better tolerability and a more favorable pharmacokinetic profile.
This synergistic combination provides effective relief from bronchospasm associated with various respiratory conditions, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps to widen the airways, making breathing easier for patients. Due to its narrow therapeutic index, careful dosing and monitoring are essential to maximize efficacy and minimize the risk of adverse effects. Regular use helps maintain open airways and prevent exacerbations.
