Dophylin Tablet 200 mg contains Doxophylline, a xanthine derivative used as a bronchodilator for the treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other obstructive airway conditions. This oral tablet formulation provides effective relief from bronchospasm and improves airflow, making breathing easier for patients with respiratory disorders.

Doxophylline is structurally related to theophylline but offers better tolerability, with a lower incidence of central nervous system stimulation and cardiac side effects. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways, reduces airway inflammation, and enhances oxygen delivery to the lungs, providing symptomatic relief and improved respiratory function.

Composition

• Doxophylline: 200 mg per tablet

Indications

Dophylin Tablet 200 mg is indicated for:

• Bronchial asthma in adults and children (as per physician guidance)

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema

• Relief of wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness

• Adjunct therapy in reversible airway obstruction

• Long-term management of chronic respiratory conditions to reduce symptoms and prevent exacerbations

Mechanism of Action

Doxophylline provides therapeutic effects through several mechanisms:

1. Bronchodilation: Relaxes bronchial and bronchiolar smooth muscles, reducing airway resistance and improving airflow.

2. Anti-inflammatory effect: Reduces inflammatory mediators, decreasing airway swelling and mucus production.

3. Phosphodiesterase inhibition: Increases cyclic AMP (cAMP) in smooth muscle cells, promoting relaxation.

4. Reduced CNS and cardiac stimulation: Compared to theophylline, Doxophylline has minimal excitatory effects, making it safer for long-term use.

These combined actions allow Dophylin Tablet to effectively manage chronic and acute respiratory symptoms, improving quality of life for patients with obstructive lung diseases.

Dosage and Administration

• Route: Oral

• Dosage: As prescribed by a registered physician

The usual adult dose is 200 mg taken 1–2 times daily, depending on the severity of the condition. Tablets should be swallowed with water, preferably after meals to reduce the risk of gastric irritation. Dose adjustments may be required for elderly patients or those with renal or hepatic impairment.
