NORPHYL INJECTION 25mg/ml (10ml amp) (Aminophylline)

NORPHYL INJECTION 25mg/ml (10ml amp) contains Aminophylline, an effective medication primarily used for the treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This formulation provides quick relief by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe.

This injection is typically administered in a clinical setting under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Its rapid action makes it a preferred choice for acute exacerbations of asthma or bronchospasm, offering patients immediate support during respiratory distress.

Key benefits of NORPHYL INJECTION include:

• Bronchodilation: Aminophylline works by dilating the bronchial passages, enhancing airflow and reducing wheezing.


• Fast-acting: The injection form allows for quicker onset of action compared to oral medications.


• Versatile use: Suitable for various respiratory issues, making it a valuable option in emergency situations.


• Improved oxygenation: By easing airway constriction, it helps improve oxygen delivery to the lungs.

Patients using NORPHYL INJECTION are advised to follow their healthcare provider's instructions carefully. Monitoring for potential side effects, such as nausea, headache, or increased heart rate, is essential to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Always consult with a healthcare professional before use to determine the appropriate dosage and to discuss any potential interactions with other medications.
