Phyllocontin Continus Tablets 225mg are a bronchodilator used to treat and prevent symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). These tablets work by relaxing the muscles of the airways, which widens them and makes breathing easier.

Asthma and COPD.

Pharmaceutical Form:

Pale yellow, film-coated, modified-release tablet with the Napp logo on one side and SA on the other..

Dose and Administration:

• Adults: The usual dose is two Phyllocontin Continus tablets 225mg twice daily, following an initial week of therapy on one tablet twice daily.
• The Elderly: The dose should be adjusted based on the response to the initial week of therapy on one tablet twice daily.
• Children: The maintenance dose (expressed as mg aminophylline) is 12mg/kg twice daily, adjusted to the nearest 125mg. For the first week of therapy, half the maintenance dose is recommended. Some children with chronic asthma may require higher doses (13-20mg/kg twice daily), while lower doses may be needed for adolescents. Not recommended for children under 3 years of age.

Important Information:
