About Derimap Injection 2 ml

Derimap Injection 2 ml belongs to the class of drugs called bronchodilators used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Derimap Injection 2 ml contains Theophylline and Etofylline, that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Thereby, Derimap Injection 2 ml helps prevent and treat the symptoms of asthma and COPD.
