Hi Bala,

Your dad is suffering from multiple problems of wheezing, diabetes, has had an open heart surgery recently. These indicate that his health is not in a very good condition.

He should continue on Deriphyllin retard for his wheezing problem. Your dad definitely needs a major lifestyle modification done. He needs to get more active physically, do regular walking and exercises. He should watch his diet; reduce on high fat food intake.

He must be in constant touch with his primary care physician.

Hope this helps.

Wishing your dad a healthy life.

Hello;
Thanks for your query.
Deriphyllin retard-150 as your dad is if it is prescribed by your doctor it is fine to take it.
In case he is not getting relief I would suggest you to consult a doctor and get a proper dose prescribed.
Also discuss with your treating doctor benefit of using medicine in form of inhalers as there is direct delivery of drug to the lungs.
Hope this answer is helpful to you.
Take care.
Regards
