Doxovent 100mg Injection is given as an injection by the doctor. The dose and duration of your treatment will depend on what you are being treated for and the severity of your condition. Get the injection for as long as it is prescribed to you. Do not miss any doses, in case you missed a dose, get it as soon as you remember it. Your doctor may get regular blood tests to check for medicine levels in the blood.
Doxovent 100mg Injection inhibits an enzyme called phosphodiesterase which results in bronchodilation (dilation or widening of the airways in the lungs by relaxing the surrounding smooth muscle). It is used for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
From a pharmacokinetic point of view, doxofylline importantly differs from theophylline also because it lacks the ability to interfere with the cytochrome enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4, thus preventing significant interaction with other drugs metabolized via these pathways in the liver.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
