Filodox 800mg Tablet SR

Filodox 800mg Tablet SR is used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a respiratory disease in which the airways narrow, swell, and produce excess mucus, leading to difficulty 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).

Filodox 800mg Tablet SR contains Doxofylline, which relaxes the muscles of the airways and lungs, making it easier to breathe. This reduces symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath in asthma and COPD.

Some people may experience headaches, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, irritability, insomnia (difficulty in falling or staying asleep) or a fast heart rate. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
