Choline Theophyllinate + Salbutamol is a combination medicine used in respiratory conditions.
Choline Theophyllinate, a xanthine derivative and phosphodiesterase inhibitor, works by stopping the phosphodiesterase enzymes from breaking down cyclic AMP in the airways. This leads to more cyclic AMP in the airways, relaxing the muscles around the airways, and offering an anti-inflammatory effect.
Salbutamol, a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, acts on the beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs. This action activates an enzyme known as adenylyl cyclase, increasing the production of cyclic AMP. The increase relaxes the muscles surrounding the bronchial tubes (airways), causing them to dilate or open up.
