Overview Theofil 400mg Capsule

Aminophylline 400mg capsules are prescribed for managing and preventing asthma and COPD symptoms (a lung condition hindering airflow). This medication relaxes airway muscles, improving breathing. Aminophylline 400mg capsules should be taken with food in the evening, consistently at the same time for optimal effectiveness. Dosage and frequency depend on the specific condition; your physician will determine the appropriate regimen to alleviate your symptoms. Continue the medication for the prescribed duration. Missed doses should be taken immediately upon recall. This medication doesn't provide instant relief or prevent existing breathing difficulties; therefore, always carry a rescue inhaler. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, stomach discomfort, and sleeplessness. Report any concerning or persistent side effects to your doctor, who may be able to mitigate them. Avoid alcohol and tobacco during treatment. Limit caffeine intake (coffee, tea, chocolate) as it can exacerbate side effects. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor of any kidney, liver, or heart conditions, and disclose all other medications you are taking, as interactions may reduce efficacy or alter the drug's effects. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
