Doximar Tablet contains Doxophylline 400 mg, a bronchodilator used to manage respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Doxophylline works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, improving airflow, and relieving bronchospasm. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and a lower incidence of side effects compared to traditional theophylline, making it a safer option for long-term management of obstructive airway diseases.
