How Dofyfab-M Tablet SR works
Dofyfab-M Tablet SR is a combination of two drugs. Doxofylline is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing and widening the muscles in the airways. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist that blocks the action of leukotriene, a chemical messenger. This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways to prevent asthma and relieve symptoms of allergies.
