About AMINOPHYLLIN INJECTION 10ML

AMINOPHYLLIN INJECTION 10ML belongs to the class of drugs called bronchodilators. It is indicated for the relief of bronchospasm associated with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

AMINOPHYLLIN INJECTION 10ML contains Aminophylline, which helps to provide relief of bronchospasm associated with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Aminophylline relaxes and opens air passages in the lungs, thereby it making breathing easier.
