Composition of Deriphyllin Injection

Uses of Deriphyllin Injection

  • Acute bronchospasm in asthma
  • COPD
  • Wheezing
  • Breathing difficulty as adjunct therapy

Benefits of Deriphyllin Injection

In Breathing difficulty
Deriphyllin makes breathing easier by opening the airways, thinning mucus or calming inflammation, depending on the cause your doctor has identified.
In Respiratory conditions
Deriphyllin relieves symptoms of the chest or airway condition it was prescribed for, so you are less breathless and can do more.
In Cough
Deriphyllin either loosens the mucus so a chesty cough clears it more easily, or settles the reflex behind a dry, tickly cough, depending on the type you have been given.
In Chest congestion
Deriphyllin thins thick mucus in the chest so it can be coughed up, easing the heaviness and rattling and helping you breathe more freely.
In Common cold symptoms
Deriphyllin relieves the blocked nose, cough and congestion of a cold so you can rest and get on with your day while the infection runs its course.

How Deriphyllin Injection works

Methylxanthines relax bronchial smooth muscle and improve ventilation by bronchodilation. They also have mild anti-inflammatory effects and stimulate the respiratory center.

How to take Deriphyllin Injection

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.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

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.

If you take too much

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.

Side effects of Deriphyllin Injection

Most side effects of Deriphyllin are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Nausea
  • vomiting
  • tremor
  • headache
  • palpitations
  • restlessness
  • insomnia

Stop the medicine and get help at once 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.
