About this product

Overview

Dowfylin 100mg Syrup is a therapeutic medication primarily used in the management and treatment of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Doxofylline, the active ingredient in Dowfylin, is a xanthine derivative that works by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the airways and opens them up, making it easier to breathe. This medication is designed to provide relief from bronchospasm, which is a sudden constriction of the muscles in the walls of the bronchioles. It is effective in treating and preventing wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness associated with lung diseases.

Uses

  • Management of asthma symptoms.
  • Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
  • Relief from bronchospasm associated with various respiratory conditions.

Side Effects

While Dowfylin is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as:

  • Nausea and vomiting.
  • Abdominal pain or discomfort.
  • Diarrhea.
  • Headache.
  • Dizziness.
  • Insomnia.
  • Increased heart rate (tachycardia).
  • Rash.

Most side effects are mild and temporary, but if you experience severe or persistent symptoms, it is important to contact your healthcare provider.

Precautions

  • Before using Dowfylin, inform your doctor if you have any allergies, medical history of heart diseases, hypertension, liver or kidney problems.
  • This medication may cause dizziness or lightheadedness; avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
