Docopa Syrup 100 mg/5 ml contains Doxophylline 100 mg per 5 ml, a bronchodilator medicine used to treat and prevent symptoms associated with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other chronic respiratory disorders. It helps relax the muscles surrounding the airways, making breathing easier and reducing symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Doxophylline is a xanthine derivative with bronchodilatory properties and is often preferred because it has a lower potential for certain side effects and drug interactions compared to traditional theophylline. Docopa Syrup is particularly suitable for children and adults who require a liquid dosage form. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

Composition

Each 5 ml of syrup contains:

• Doxophylline 100 mg

How Docopa Syrup Works

Doxophylline works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, allowing them to widen and improving airflow to the lungs. It also has mild anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce airway irritation.

By improving airflow, Docopa Syrup helps relieve breathing difficulties and decreases symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness. It is used for long-term management of respiratory conditions and is not intended for the immediate relief of acute asthma attacks.
