Doxofyl Tablet 400 mg contains Doxophylline, a bronchodilator used in the management of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps relax the smooth muscles of the airways, making breathing easier. Compared to traditional xanthine derivatives, doxophylline is associated with fewer side effects, making it a preferred option for long-term respiratory management.
