DERICIP is a prescription bronchodilator from Cipla Ltd. containing Etofylline + Theophylline. It relaxes airway muscles and widens the bronchi, helping air move in and out more easily—thereby easing wheezing, chest tightness, cough, and shortness of breath in COPD and asthma.

Available strengths on 1mg

• Dericip 77mg/23mg Tablet (Etofylline 77 mg + Theophylline 23 mg)

• Dericip 231mg/69mg Tablet (Etofylline 231 mg + Theophylline 69 mg)

• Dericip Retard 300 Tablet PR (sustained release; 231 mg + 69 mg)
  All are listed with Cipla as the marketer.

How it works
The two bronchodilators relax airway smooth muscle and widen the air passages; they also help reduce mucus build-up—so breathing becomes easier and symptoms reduce. 1mg

How to take (per 1mg guidance)
Swallow whole as advised by the doctor. Take on an empty stomach and avoid caffeine/chocolate (e.g., tea, coffee, cocoa) which can interact with methylxanthines. Do not crush/chew.

Common side effects
Nausea, vomiting, headache, restlessness, dry mouth, dizziness, stomach upset. Most are temporary; contact a doctor if persistent.

Safety advice (as shown on 1mg)

• Alcohol: unsafe with Dericip.

Digihaler FB 200 Inhaler is a combination inhaler that contains:

• Formoterol (6mcg): A long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) that relaxes airway muscles, helping to open airways and improve breathing.

• Budesonide (200mcg): An inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) that reduces airway inflammation, swelling, and mucus production.

This combination provides dual action—rapid relief from bronchoconstriction and long-term control of airway inflammation—making it effective for patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Digihaler FB 200 also incorporates digital tracking technology, allowing patients and healthcare providers to monitor inhaler usage and improve adherence to prescribed therapy.

Duvadilan IM/IV Injection contains Isoxsuprine (5mg/ml), a vasodilator and smooth muscle relaxant. It is commonly used in the management of conditions related to poor blood circulation and certain pregnancy complications. Isoxsuprine works by relaxing blood vessels and smooth muscles, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues.

It is usually given via intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) route under strict medical supervision.

• Used in pregnancy complications:

  • Threatened miscarriage

  • Premature labor (to relax the uterus)

  • Uteroplacental insufficiency (poor blood supply to placenta).

---

How It Works

• Vasodilator Action: Isoxsuprine relaxes blood vessels, improves blood flow, and enhances oxygen supply.
