Xofyl (100Mg/5Ml) 60Ml Syrup

Overview

Xofyl 100mg/5ml 60ml Syrup is an oral respiratory medicine containing doxofylline, a xanthine-derived bronchodilator used in obstructive airway conditions. It is intended for patients who have been advised treatment for symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, bronchospasm, cough associated with airway obstruction, or shortness of breath due to asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The syrup format may be used where a liquid oral dosage form is preferred, but the dose should always be individualized by a doctor.

This product should not be used for sudden severe breathing attacks as a substitute for emergency reliever therapy unless a healthcare professional has specifically instructed otherwise. Patients with persistent or worsening breathing difficulty should seek urgent medical advice.
