Aminophylline
What Is Aminophylline?
Aminophylline is used to treat the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema.
Aminophylline is a bronchodilator. Aminophylline works in several ways, it relaxes muscles in your lungs and chest to allow more air in, decreases the sensitivity of your lungs to allergens and other substances that cause inflammation, and increases the contractions of your diaphragm to draw more air into the lungs. Aminophylline has been used to stimulate the central nervous system and to treat apnea in neonates. It has also been used as a cardiac stimulant in heart failure.
