Effectiveness

How Slo-Bid Affects PatientsTheophylline, a substance related to caffeine and theobromine, is used to treat asthma and breathing difficulties. It has two effects in people with asthma: it helps the airways open up (bronchodilation) and also prevents the airways from constricting in response to triggers (non-bronchodilator prophylactic effects).
How Slo-Bid works in the bodyTheophylline reduces inflammation and relaxes the muscles in the airways, making breathing easier. It works by blocking an enzyme that breaks down a molecule that helps control muscle contraction. It also blocks a receptor that allows a molecule to cause the airways to constrict. In addition, it activates a type of enzyme to prevent inflammation-causing molecules from being activated.

When to interrupt dosage

The proposed dosage of Slo-Bid is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Bronchodilation, Bronchoconstriction and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The amount of dosage shall be determined according to the administration technique detailed in the table below.
