Doxofylline 400mg Tab IP
₹85.00
Doxofylline 400 mg is a prescription bronchodilator tablet used to treat and prevent symptoms of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It works by relaxing and widening the airways in the lungs, making breathing easier.
Key Information
- Uses:
- Asthma
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema
- Bronchospasm (tightening of airways)
- Mechanism of Action: Doxofylline inhibits phosphodiesterase enzymes, which relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways and widens the air passages. It is not a steroid or an antibiotic.
- Important Note: This medication does not work immediately for sudden breathing problems. You should always carry a fast-acting (rescue) inhaler for emergencies.
Usage and Dosage
- Administration: Take the tablet as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break it.
- Timing: It can be taken with or without food, but taking it at a fixed time each day (preferably in the evening) is recommended for consistency.
- Duration: Use it for the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better.
- Typical Dose: A common adult dose is one 400 mg tablet twice a day, or as advised by a doctor. The dosage may be adjusted based on the patient’s condition.

Important Precautions and Warnings
- Medical History: Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart problems (including low blood pressure or a recent heart attack), an overactive thyroid, or stomach ulcers.
- Interactions: Avoid consuming high-caffeinated products like coffee, tea, and dark chocolate, as they can enhance the drug’s side effects. This medication may also interact with other medicines, so tell your doctor about all current medications you are taking.
