Deriphyllin Injection 2 ml

Deriphyllin Injection is used to treat Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) symptoms. The detailed uses of Deriphyllin Injection are as follows:

• Asthma: It is typically used to treat symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath by relaxing the muscles around the airways and improving airflow.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): It helps manage COPD by opening up the airways, improving lung function, and alleviating breathing difficulties.
• Breathing Difficulty Relief: It aids in reducing symptoms of shortness of breath and wheezing, making breathing easier, especially in acute situations.
• Short-term Use in Exacerbations: It is generally used in hospital settings during acute flare-ups or when oral or inhaled therapy is not possible. It may not be recommended for long-term or routine use.

Deriphyllin Injection contains Theophylline and etofylline, bronchodilators used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms. Deriphyllin Injection works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs, making breathing easier.

• Deriphyllin Injection is administered only in clinical settings by healthcare professionals, usually through slow intravenous or intramuscular injection.
• The doctor carefully determines the dosage and frequency based on the severity of symptoms and the patient's response to treatment. 
• Do not self-administer this injection, as improper use may lead to serious side effects such as rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, or seizures.
• Patients are monitored during and after administration for adverse reactions to ensure safe, effective treatment.

• Eat foods rich in potassium, such as tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens, and beetroots. Potassium is important for lung function, and a deficiency may cause breathing problems.
• Drink plenty of fluids as it thins the mucus and makes it easier to cough up.
• Avoid foods such as cabbage, beans, garlic, onions, shrimp, pickled foods, dried fruits, fried foods, carbonated drinks, wine, and bottled lemon and lime juice, as they may worsen asthma symptoms.
• Exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system. Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.
• Do meditation, deep breathing, regular exercise, and try progressive muscle relaxation techniques to get relief from stress and reduce the risk of an asthma attack.
• Quit smoking as it may reduce the effectiveness of Deriphyllin Injection , irritate the lungs or worsen breathing problems.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Deriphyllin Injection or any other medicines. If your breathing worsens or you often wake up at night with asthma, and experience chest tightness in the morning, please inform a doctor immediately, as these might be signs indicating that your asthma is not controlled properly and requires an alternate or additional treatment. Regular monitoring of potassium levels is recommended while taking Deriphyllin Injection as it may cause low potassium levels in the blood. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Deriphyllin Injection .
