Theo Asthalin Fort Tablets

Theo Asthalin Fort Tablets are a combination medication commonly used for the treatment and management of respiratory conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other diseases that cause bronchospasm and airway inflammation. The combination of Salbutamol and Theophylline in Theo Asthalin Fort provides both bronchodilation (widening of the airways) and anti-inflammatory effects.

Composition of Each Theo Asthalin Fort Tablet:

• Salbutamol: 4 mg
  • Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in the lungs, which helps to open up the airways and improve airflow. It is often used to treat bronchospasm and the symptoms of asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and tightness in the chest.
• Theophylline: 200 mg
  • Theophylline is a methylxanthine drug that also helps to relax the muscles of the airways. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory properties and stimulates the respiratory center in the brain, helping to improve lung function and reduce airway inflammation. It is commonly used for the long-term management of asthma and COPD.
