Pharmacology
Indication: Used to treat the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema.
Pharmacology: Oxtriphylline is a bronchodilator. Oxtriphylline works in several ways: it relaxes muscles in your lungs and chest to allow more air in, decreases the sensitivity of your lungs to allergens and other substances that cause inflammation, and increases the contractions of your diaphragm to draw more air into the lungs.
Mechanism of Action:
Oxtriphylline is a choline salt of theophylline. Oxtriphylline relaxes the smooth muscle of the bronchial airways and pulmonary blood vessels and reduces airway responsiveness to histamine, methacholine, adenosine, and allergen. Oxtriphylline competitively inhibits type III and type IV phosphodiesterase (PDE), the enzyme responsible for breaking d...
