Etophylline, Theophylline and Salbutamol Tablets are a combination medicine designed to help patients with respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

This article will guide you through etophylline and theophylline tablets uses, salbutamol tablets dosage for adults, mechanism of action, side effects, and why Steris Healthcare is a trusted choice for your respiratory health.

What Are Etophylline, Theophylline, and Salbutamol Tablets?

Etophylline and Theophylline belong to a group of medicines called methylxanthines, which help relax the muscles in the lungs and chest to improve airflow. Salbutamol, a bronchodilator, works by widening the air passages and making it easier to breathe.

Together, Etophylline, Theophylline and Salbutamol Tablets offer a dual action for effective respiratory support in both chronic and acute conditions.

How Do Etophylline, Theophylline and Salbutamol Tablets Work?

  • Etophylline & Theophylline Mechanism of Action: These compounds inhibit phosphodiesterase enzymes, leading to smooth muscle relaxation in the airways. They also help in reducing inflammation and improving breathing.

  • Salbutamol Action: Salbutamol stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs, causing the bronchi to expand, relieving breathlessness and wheezing.

The combination ensures rapid relief along with long-term airway support.
