Doxofylline Uses
3 Topics FoundI'm looking for a complete description on the usage and indications of Doxophylline. ## Doxofylline (also known as doxophylline) is a phosphodiesterase inhibiting bronchodilator used in the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD to help prevent airway obstruction. ## Doxophyline is 6-8 times costlier than Etophyline & has the same mechanism of action. ## Doxophylline is used to treat asthma and COPD to help prevent airway obstruction. ## Please let me know whether Doxophyline is an antibiotic or what? ## Is this medication available in India? If so, under which manufacturer?
