Medical Description

Deriphyllin tablet is a medication used to help individuals with breathing problems, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchitis. It contains two main ingredients called etofylline and theophylline. These work together to relax the muscles in the airways and reduce swelling in the lungs. This helps make breathing easier and can relieve chest tightness or wheezing.

You should take Deriphyllin exactly as your doctor has prescribed. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush it. It’s essential not to exceed the recommended dose, even if your symptoms worsen. Also, don’t stop taking the medicine without talking to your doctor, as doing so could make your condition harder to manage.

If you are allergic to etofylline, theophylline, or any other ingredients in the tablet, you should not take Deriphyllin. Some people may also experience side effects, such as nausea, headache, or stomach upset. Always notify your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms after starting the medicine, so they can help manage any discomfort.
