Etophylline Theophylline Injection is commonly used for the diagnosis or treatment of acute left ventricular failure, breathlessness, bronchospasm
Etophylline Theophylline Injection is a combination of two bronchodilators: Etofylline (84.7 mg) and Theophylline (25.3 mg). Let me provide you with some information about it:
Uses: Etophylline Injection is primarily used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). In COPD, the flow of air to the lungs is blocked, and this medication helps relax the muscles of the air passages, making it easier to breathe.
How It Works: Etofylline and Theophylline belong to a family of medicines called bronchodilators. They work by widening the air passages in your lungs, allowing you to breathe more easily and feel less congested.
Administration: Etophylline Injection is given by your doctor or nurse. The dose depends on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. It’s essential to continue taking it as recommended by your doctor to prevent symptoms from returning or worsening.
Common Side Effects: Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, and restlessness are some of the most common side effects. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time.
Safety Considerations:
- Alcohol: It is unsafe to consume alcohol with Etophylline Injection.
- Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before using Etophylline Injection during pregnancy, as limited studies in humans exist, but animal studies have shown harmful effects on the developing baby.
Remember to inform your healthcare team about all other medications you are taking, as some may affect or be affected by this medicine. If you have any heart, kidney, or liver diseases, your doctor will prescribe a suitable dose for you. Additionally, let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding1.
