Filodox SR Tablet 400 mg contains Doxophylline in a sustained-release (SR) formulation. It is used for the long-term management of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The sustained-release design allows the medicine to be released slowly over time, providing longer-lasting bronchodilation and improved symptom control throughout the day or night. It helps reduce breathing difficulty, wheezing, and chest tightness associated with chronic airway diseases.
