Etophylline 84.7 mg/ml + Theophylline 25.3 mg/ml (strength may vary by pack)
Deriphyllin Injection is used for acute bronchospasm in asthma and COPD, wheezing and breathing difficulty as adjunct therapy.
Medically reviewed by Dr. Balaji Krishnan, MBBS · Updated September 2026
Deriphyllin Injection contains Etophylline 84.7 mg/ml + Theophylline 25.3 mg/ml (strength may vary by pack). It belongs to the Methylxanthine derivative class of medicines.
Methylxanthines relax bronchial smooth muscle and improve ventilation by bronchodilation. They also have mild anti-inflammatory effects and stimulate the respiratory center.
For IV use by healthcare professionals only, usually slow IV injection/infusion. Do not self-administer. Monitoring is recommended due to narrow safety margin.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
An overdose of this medicine can cause a racing heart, tremor and marked restlessness. It can cause vomiting, a racing heart, fits and dangerous heart rhythm disturbance. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Most side effects of Deriphyllin are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

| Breastfeeding | Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding. |
| Alcohol | Use with caution |
| Driving | May cause drowsiness or affect your concentration. Do not drive until you know how it affects you. |
| Kidney | Use with caution if you have kidney disease — your doctor may adjust the dose or monitor your kidney function. |
| Liver | Use with caution if you have liver disease — your doctor may adjust the dose or monitor your liver function. |

Serious toxicity possible (arrhythmias, seizures). Use caution in cardiac disease, liver impairment, elderly, hyperthyroidism, epilepsy and peptic ulcer. Avoid rapid IV administration; consider serum level monitoring when clinically indicated.
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Codeine-containing preparations are not for children, or for anyone with breathing difficulty.
Ciprofloxacin/erythromycin/cimetidine (increase theophylline levels), rifampicin/phenytoin/carbamazepine (decrease levels), caffeine, beta-agonists, smoking (reduces levels)
Store below 25°C, protect from light, do not freeze.
Do not stop a preventive medicine because you feel well. Drink plenty of water — it thins mucus better than any syrup. Steam inhalation helps congestion and costs nothing. Measure the dose with the cup supplied.
