Theo-Asthalin Forte Tablet is a combination of respiratory-related medicine containing Salbutamol (bronchodilator) and Theophylline (xanthine and phosphodiesterase inhibitor). Together it helps in the management of chronic conditions of the respiratory system including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. On the other hand, COPD is a group of progressive lung diseases, with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of bronchial tubes). Initially, it may be mild, but it can lead to total blockage of airways and damage the lungs in severe cases.

Theo-Asthalin Forte Tablet helps in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by relaxing and widening the narrowed or blocked airways (bronchial tubes) of the lungs making it easier to breathe in. Theo-Asthalin Forte Tablet is given to treat an asthma attack when it first starts (an acute attack) and for wheezing (a whistling sound during breath) induced by factors like cold or exercise.
