What does it do?

Theophylline polymeric shell complex is an ingredient that encases theophylline in a polymer shell for continuous release. It is primarily used as an antitussive and expectorant for relieving cough and phlegm. This ingredient helps in the treatment of respiratory diseases.

This ingredient relaxes the bronchial muscles in the lungs, widening the airways, and regulates mucus secretion to thin the phlegm. The polymer shell gradually releases the drug, providing a long-lasting effect. This helps alleviate symptoms of cough and phlegm.
