About this product
Overview
Cosome-E Syrup 120ml contains the active ingredient aminophylline, which belongs to a class of medications called bronchodilators. Aminophylline is a methylxanthine derivative and is used primarily in the treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory conditions characterized by bronchoconstriction and airway obstruction. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, thereby widening the air passages and making it easier to breathe.

Cosome-E Syrup 120ml is prescribed for the following purposes:
- Management of asthma: Aminophylline helps relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness associated with asthma exacerbations.
- Treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Aminophylline may be used to alleviate symptoms and improve lung function in patients with COPD.
- Relief of bronchospasm: Cosome-E Syrup can also be used to treat acute bronchospasm or bronchoconstriction due to various respiratory conditions.
