Etophyllin 84.7mg + Theophylline 25.3mg Injection per ml
Etophylline (84.7mg) and Theophylline (25.3mg per ml) Injection (Deriphyllin) is a parenteral methylxanthine bronchodilator combination on the WHO Model List framework. It non-selectively inhibits phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes, elevating intracellular cyclic AMP, competitively antagonizes adenosine A1 and A2 receptors, and stimulates endogenous catecholamine release. This produces relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, stimulates the medullary respiratory center, improves diaphragmatic contractility, and exerts mild diuresis. Indicated for acute relief of severe bronchospasm in bronchial asthma, status asthmaticus, chronic bronchitis, and left ventricular failure with pulmonary edema (cardiac asthma).
