Docopa Tablet 200 mg contains Doxophylline 200 mg, a xanthine-derived bronchodilator used for the treatment and long-term management of bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other chronic respiratory conditions associated with reversible airway obstruction. It works by relaxing the muscles of the airways, improving airflow to the lungs, and reducing symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Doxophylline is considered an effective alternative to traditional theophylline because it offers comparable bronchodilator effects with a lower likelihood of certain side effects and drug interactions. Docopa Tablet is commonly prescribed as part of a comprehensive asthma or COPD treatment plan and should be used regularly as directed by a healthcare professional. It is not intended for the immediate relief of acute asthma attacks.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Doxophylline 200 mg

How Docopa Tablet Works

Doxophylline belongs to the xanthine bronchodilator class of medicines. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles surrounding the airways, allowing the bronchial tubes to widen and improving the flow of air into and out of the lungs.

In addition to its bronchodilatory effect, Doxophylline has mild anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce airway irritation. This combination of actions helps improve breathing, decrease airway obstruction, and reduce the frequency and severity of respiratory symptoms.
