Relief and prevention of bronchospasm in asthma, chronic bronchitis and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease); helps reduce wheezing, breathlessness and chest tightness

Theophylline is a methylxanthine bronchodilator. It relaxes airway smooth muscles and reduces airway responsiveness mainly by inhibiting phosphodiesterase and antagonising adenosine receptors, leading to bronchodilation and improved airflow.
