About Elmaphylline-D Tablet 10's

Elmaphylline-D Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medications known as bronchodilators. It is used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases that includes emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes).

Elmaphylline-D Tablet 10's contains Doxofylline. It works by relaxing the muscles of the airways and lungs, making it easier to breathe. It inhibits an enzyme called phosphodiesterase, which increases the levels of a chemical (cAMP) that helps open up the airways. This reduces symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath in asthma and COPD.

The dose and duration of treatment with Elmaphylline-D Tablet 10's can be determined by the doctor based on your medical condition. Some people may experience headaches, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, irritability, insomnia (difficulty in falling or staying asleep) or a fast heart rate.
