What does it do?

Theophylline anhydrous is a component of the methylxanthine class, primarily used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is included in medications for the purpose of relaxing bronchial muscles to facilitate breathing.

Theophylline anhydrous relaxes the bronchial smooth muscle, alleviating airway narrowing. This leads to easier breathing and a reduction in asthma symptoms.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
