About Dericip Tablet

Dericip Tablet belongs to the class of drugs called bronchodilators used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Dericip Tablet contains Theophylline and Etofylline, that work by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Thereby, Dericip Tablet helps prevent and treat the symptoms of asthma and COPD.

Take Dericip Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Dericip Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition.
