THEO-ASTHALIN TAB 10.S

About

THEO-ASTHALIN is a combination medication primarily used for the symptomatic relief and management of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It combines Theophylline, a xanthine derivative, and Salbutamol (also known as Albuterol), a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist. Theophylline works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the bronchi and pulmonary blood vessels, leading to bronchodilation, and also has anti-inflammatory properties.

Salbutamol acts rapidly to relax the smooth muscles in the airways, opening them up and making breathing easier. This dual-action formulation provides both immediate relief from bronchospasm and sustained bronchodilation, helping to improve lung function, reduce the frequency of breathlessness, and alleviate wheezing and chest tightness associated with obstructive airway diseases, thereby enhancing respiratory comfort and quality of life.
