Dericip Retard 150 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Etofylline (115 mg): As bronchodilators, these components work by relaxing the muscles in your airways. They do this by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase in your body. This action leads to an increase in cyclic AMP levels within the smooth muscle cells of your airways.

• Theophylline (35 mg): This ingredient works similarly, by inhibiting phosphodiesterase and increasing cyclic AMP levels in the smooth muscle cells of the airways.

  The increased cyclic AMP promotes relaxation of these muscles, thus reducing obstruction in the airways and improving airflow. By doing so, it makes breathing easier for patients with respiratory disorders.
