Etofylline

A bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways, making breathing easier.

Theophylline

Another bronchodilator that works similarly to etofylline, but with a slightly different mechanism of action.

Treatment of reversible airway obstruction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Treatment of bronchospasm associated with asthma and other chronic lung diseases

Prevention of exerciseinduced bronchospasm

Both Deriphyllin Inj 2ml (Etofylline + Theophylline) are methylxanthines. They primarily work by inhibiting phosphodiesterase, leading to increased levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). This increased cAMP causes relaxation of the smooth muscles in the airways, resulting in bronchodilation. They may also have other effects, such as inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators.
