Diprofilin is a medication that helps with bronchial dilation and mucus secretion regulation, mainly used to alleviate cough and phlegm symptoms. This ingredient belongs to the methylxanthine class and is utilized in the treatment of respiratory diseases.

Diprofilin relaxes bronchial muscles to alleviate narrowing of the airways and regulates mucus secretion to thin phlegm. This results in reduced coughing and easier breathing.
