Medicine Description farcophylline 125mg
Farcophylline 125mg Supp is a medication that acts as a bronchodilator. It functions primarily by relaxing the smooth muscles of the bronchial passages, thereby facilitating improved airflow during episodes of bronchial constriction. Piperazine Theophylline Ethanoate works by inhibiting the action of phosphodiesterase, which leads to an increase in cyclic AMP levels, promoting bronchodilation. The enhanced levels of cyclic AMP also contribute to reducing inflammation in the airways, further aiding in the relief of respiratory conditions. This dual mechanism of action makes Farcophylline effective in managing both acute and chronic obstructive airway diseases.
