Duphill-M Tablet is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). It contains Doxofylline and Montelukast, which works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. It treats the airflow obstruction in the lungs, thereby relieving chest tightness, wheezing and cough to make breathing easier. Also, it blocks the leukotrienes (chemicals released in response when a body comes in contact with an allergen), thereby reducing inflammation and swelling in the nose. It also inhibits bronchoconstriction (narrowing of airways in the lungs that lead to breathing difficulties). It may cause common side effects such as fever, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain/epigastric pain, headache, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), irritation, sore throat, increased heart rate and flu-like symptoms.

About Duphill-M Tablet

Duphill-M Tablet is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases that mainly include emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).

Duphill-M Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Doxofylline (bronchodilator) and Montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist). Doxofylline works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. It treats the airflow obstruction in the lungs, thereby relieving chest tightness, wheezing and cough to make breathing easier. Montelukast blocks the leukotrienes (chemicals released in response when a body comes in contact with an allergen), thereby reducing inflammation and swelling in the nose. It also inhibits bronchoconstriction (narrowing of airways in the lungs that lead to breathing difficulties).

Your doctor will advise the dose and duration of the course based on the severity of your disease. The common side effects of Duphill-M Tablet include fever, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain/epigastric pain, headache, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), irritation, sore throat, increased heart rate and flu-like symptoms.
