Doxofylline Tablets 400 mg
Doxofylline Tablets (400mg; alone or with Montelukast 10mg) is a novel xanthine derivative bronchodilator on the PMBI formulary. Unlike theophylline, it contains a dioxolane group at position 7 that specifically inhibits phosphodiesterase without binding to adenosine receptors or interfering with calcium influx. This confers potent bronchodilatory and anti-inflammatory activity with dramatically fewer cardiac, gastric, and CNS side effects (negligible tachycardia, insomnia, or gastric hypersecretion) and a 10-fold wider therapeutic window. Indicated for maintenance treatment of bronchial asthma, COPD, and spastic bronchitis.
