Cadiphyllin
Cadiphyllin is a combination bronchodilator containing Etofylline and Theophylline. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the bronchial airways and pulmonary blood vessels, allowing for increased airflow to the lungs and making breathing easier for patients suffering from chronic respiratory conditions.
Dosage by Body Weight
Must be taken exactly as prescribed by a physician. It is usually recommended to take it after meals to minimize gastric irritation. Avoid crushing or chewing sustained-release tablets. Limit consumption of caffeine, tea, and chocolate during the course, as they can amplify the drug's stimulatory side effects.
