Deriphyllin Retard 150 Tablet is prescribed to patients who suffer from conditions like acute or chronic respiratory conditions and experience asthma, difficulty in breathing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, breathlessness, whooping cough and several other conditions.

The tablet is manufactured by Zydus Cadila and contains the medicine Etofylline and Theophylline. The recommended dose for the drug is 150 or 300 mg once a day in the morning or evening.

A doctor’s prescription is not required to get this medicine and it can be obtained from any drug store. Deriphyllin Retard 150 Tablet Pr helps the patient by relieving them of most of the above-mentioned symptoms, majorly by improving the flow of air in the air passages and reducing the difficulties faced while breathing.

The primary working principle of the tablet is to inhibit the phosphodiesterase enzymes in the body, and in turn, by relaxing muscles & opening air passages, resulting in easy breathing.

Symptoms of overdose include nausea, vomiting, insomnia, irritability, tachycardia, seizures, tonic-clonic seizures, insomnia, and circulatory failure. If seizures have not occurred, induce vomiting; ipecac syrup is preferred.

Do not induce emesis in the presence of impaired consciousness. Repeated doses of charcoal have been shown to be effective in enhancing the total body clearance of theophylline. Do not repeat charcoal doses if an ileus is present.

Charcoal hemoperfusion may be considered if serum theophylline levels exceed 40 mcg/mL, the patient is unable to tolerate repeat oral charcoal administrations, or if severe toxic symptoms are present.

Clearance with hemoperfusion is better than clearance from hemodialysis. Administer a cathartic, especially if sustained release agents were used. Phenobarbital administered prophylactically may prevent seizures.
