Gifol tablets contain the active ingredient theophylline, a bronchodilator used to treat symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. By relaxing the muscles around the airways, theophylline helps to open them, making it easier to breathe. The drug works by inhibiting certain enzymes in the body, leading to relaxation of the bronchial tubes.
Patients taking Gifol should monitor their dosage closely and adhere to their doctor's recommendations, as the therapeutic range for theophylline is narrow, and excessive levels can lead to side effects. It's also important to regularly monitor blood levels of theophylline and to be aware of potential interactions with other medications.
