Theo-Asthaline is composed of two medications known salbutamol and Theophylline. The combined effect of this product help in relieving symptoms associated with the respiratory system. Mainly this product is manufactured aiming at Asthma and COPD patients.

Asthma is a respiratory condition believed as a restrictive disorder. The airways become inflamed and swell when a person has Asthma. The environmental changes and allergic agents may trigger the occurrence of Asthma. The mucus-producing glands may produce excess mucus, which obstructs the lumen and make it difficult for the patient to breathe.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a condition that occurs due to emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD is also a restrictive disorder associated with lungs and bronchioles. The bronchial tree becomes inflamed, resulting from reducing the size of the lumen. So it becomes difficult for the patients to breathe in and out.

Theo-Asthalin can be successfully treated the symptoms of Asthma and COPD. The airways become relaxed and widen after inhaling Theo-Asthalin. Theo-Asthalin is mainly used in treating acute asthma attacks. Salbutamol can act as a bronchodilator, but salbutamol belongs to a drug class called beta two adrenoceptor agonists. The drug molecules get bind with the beta two receptors and stimulate the function of the beta two receptors. So the bronchioles get relaxed by widening the lumen of the airways.

Theophylline belongs to xanthene derivatives to be used as bronchodilators in the widening of the airways. Theophylline can relax the smooth muscles of the bronchioles, and also they can alleviate the stimulation of the bronchial receptors. By using these mechanisms, Theophylline is capable of opening the airways. So it helps to restore the gas exchange process.
