Theo Asthalin
Theo Asthalin is a combination bronchodilator containing Salbutamol (a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist) and Theophylline (a methylxanthine). Together, they relax the smooth muscles of the bronchial airways and pulmonary blood vessels, reducing airway resistance and making breathing significantly easier.
Dosage by Body Weight
The dosage must be strictly individualized by a qualified healthcare professional. It is typically administered 3 to 4 times a day. Because Theophylline has a narrow therapeutic index, close medical monitoring is required to prevent toxicity.
