Doxofylline 10mL Injection

Product Introduction

Doxofylline 10mL is a xanthine bronchodilator used as maintenance support in asthma, chronic bronchitis, or COPD-related airflow limitation when doxofylline is prescribed. It helps relax airway smooth muscle, making breathing easier in selected patients with wheeze, chest tightness, or breathlessness. It is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used as the only treatment for sudden severe breathing difficulty. Doxofylline is related to methylxanthines but is often used for bronchodilator effect with a different tolerability profile from older theophylline products. Worsening breathlessness, blue lips, severe wheeze, inability to speak full sentences, or poor response to reliever inhaler needs urgent care.

How to use

Take Doxofylline 10mL as prescribed, at consistent times. Do not use it for sudden severe breathing attacks. Keep the prescribed reliever inhaler available and follow the asthma/COPD action plan.

How it works

Doxofylline relaxes bronchial smooth muscle and helps widen airways, reducing airflow resistance in obstructive airway disease.

Common side effects

Possible effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, headache, restlessness, insomnia, fast heartbeat, tremor, and dizziness. Serious warning signs include severe palpitations, seizure, chest pain, severe vomiting, or worsening breathing.

Important information

Tell the clinician about heart rhythm problems, seizure disorder, liver/kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, stomach ulcer, smoking changes, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and all asthma/COPD medicines. Do not stop inhaled controller therapy unless advised.
