Medicine OverView
This medicine is a combination bronchodilator containing Theophylline and Salbutamol. It is used to treat asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, and other breathing disorders. Theophylline helps relax the muscles in the airways, while Salbutamol opens the air passages for easier breathing.
This medicine helps reduce symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
This medicine may be prescribed when regular bronchodilator treatment is required for long-term breathing support.
Together, these ingredients make breathing easier and reduce airway tightening and wheezing.
