Is There Any Side Effects For Taking Deriphyllin Daily?
I am an Asthama patient. I want to know Deriphyllin is antibiotic. Is there any harm of using daily. I am using Tiova inhaler and Foracort 400 inhaler. Now a days I am not using Deriphyllin. Whether Deriphyllion or Foracort inhaler or Tiova which is more safer?

Hello,
Deriphyllin isn't an antibiotic. Deriphyllin is used to treat lung diseases such as asthma and COPD (bronchitis, emphysema). It must be used regularly to prevent wheezing and shortness of breath. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as xanthines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
