Uses of OD Phyllin Tablet
Benefits of OD Phyllin Tablet
In Asthma
Asthma is a condition in which the airways of the lungs become inflamed and narrowed, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. OD PHYLLIN 600 MG TABLET works by relaxing the muscles around the airways and reducing airway narrowing, which improves airflow to the lungs. This helps in easing breathing, reducing asthma symptoms, and improving the patient’s ability to carry out daily activities with fewer breathing difficulties.
In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that causes persistent breathing problems due to airway obstruction and damage to the lungs. Patients often experience chronic cough, mucus buildup, and shortness of breath, which worsen over time. OD PHYLLIN 600 MG TABLET helps by widening the airways and reducing inflammation, allowing better movement of air in and out of the lungs. This relieves breathlessness, decreases the frequency of flare-ups, and enhances overall lung function, improving quality of life in people living with COPD.
