Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic to break down and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to clear. Theophylline is a methylxanthine bronchodilator that relaxes smooth muscle in the airways and lungs, improving airflow and breathing.
Theophylline has a narrow therapeutic index, meaning blood levels must be monitored to avoid toxicity. Common side effects may include nausea, headache, and palpitations. Inform your doctor of all medications and conditions before use, as drug interactions are possible.
