🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine works through two complementary bronchodilator mechanisms. Salbutamol selectively stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle, which increases cyclic AMP inside the muscle cells and causes them to relax, widening the airways. Etofylline, a xanthine derivative, inhibits phosphodiesterase enzymes and blocks adenosine receptors, which also raises cyclic AMP and leads to bronchial smooth muscle relaxation. The combined effect is a more sustained opening of the airways than either agent alone, which helps reduce wheezing and improve airflow in obstructive lung diseases.

Dosage Information
| Adult Dosage | The usual adult dose of this medicine is one tablet taken orally, typically once or twice daily, or as directed by your doctor. The exact dose and frequency depend on the condition being treated, its severity, and your response to therapy. Dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function. Do not adjust the dose without medical advice. |
| Pediatric Dosage | Pediatric dosing is not established from available information. Consult a pediatrician. |
| Elderly Dosage | Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the cardiovascular and nervous system effects of this medicine. Start with a lower dose and monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and potassium levels closely. Dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician. |
| Renal Impairment | Dose adjustment may be needed in patients with kidney disease, as both salbutamol and etofylline are excreted partly by the kidneys. Consult your doctor for individualized dosing. |
| Hepatic Impairment | Dose adjustment may be needed in patients with liver disease, as both ingredients are metabolized in the liver. Consult your doctor for individualized dosing. |
| Maximum Daily Dose | The maximum daily dose is not established from the available information. Do not exceed the dose prescribed by your doctor. |
