Doximar Syrup contains Doxophylline 100 mg/5 ml, a bronchodilator used in the management of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other obstructive airway disorders. Doxophylline relaxes bronchial smooth muscles, improves airflow, and reduces bronchospasm. Unlike traditional theophylline, it has a better safety profile with fewer side effects, making it suitable for both children and adults who require oral liquid therapy for easier administration.
