Pulmodox Syrup 100 mg/5 ml is a liquid formulation containing Doxophylline, a bronchodilator used for the management of respiratory disorders such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other obstructive airway conditions. The syrup form is particularly suitable for children, elderly patients, or anyone who has difficulty swallowing tablets, allowing for flexible and accurate dosing.

Doxophylline works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, improving airflow, and making breathing easier. Pulmodox Syrup helps relieve symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, breathlessness, and persistent cough. It can be used as part of long-term maintenance therapy to prevent exacerbations and maintain optimal lung function.

Composition

Each 5 ml of Pulmodox Syrup contains:

Mechanism of Action

Doxophylline is a bronchodilator with mild anti-inflammatory properties:
