Elixophyllin Elixir

Generic Name: Theophylline Elixir (thee-OFF-i-lin)
Brand Name: Elixophyllin

Elixophyllin Elixir is used for:

Preventing and treating symptoms and blockage of airway due to asthma or other lung diseases such as emphysema or bronchitis. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Elixophyllin Elixir is a xanthine derivative. It works by relaxing the smooth muscle surrounding the bronchial tubes (air passages) of the lungs, allowing the tubes to widen, making breathing easier. Elixophyllin Elixir improves contraction of the diaphragm (the major breathing muscle).
