Pulmodox Tablet 400 mg contains Doxophylline, a bronchodilator used for the management of respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and other obstructive airway disorders. Doxophylline belongs to the xanthine derivative class and works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, improving airflow, and making breathing easier.

Pulmodox helps patients manage symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and chronic cough. Unlike fast-acting bronchodilators, it can be used as part of long-term therapy to maintain open airways and support overall respiratory health. This medication is particularly useful in patients with moderate to severe respiratory conditions where maintenance therapy is required to prevent exacerbations.
