Pharmacological Action

Doxophylline is a xanthine derivative that acts as a bronchodilator:

• Inhibits phosphodiesterase enzymes, increasing cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels

• Has fewer cardiac and central nervous system side effects compared to theophylline

These effects contribute to easier breathing and improved lung function.
