| Active Ingredient | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Aminophylline |
Aminophylline is a soluble derivative of theophylline and is given for its theophylline activity. Aminophylline relaxes smooth muscle and relieves bronchial spasm. It stimulates the myocardium and reduces venous pressure in congestive heart failure, leading to a marked increase in cardiac output. |
|
| Choline theophyllinate |
Choline theophyllinate is the choline salt of theophylline. It has a strong bronchodilator action, due to the relaxation of the smooth muscle fibers of the bronchi. |
|
| Furosemide |
Furosemide inhibits active chloride transport in the thick ascending limb. Re-absorption of sodium, chloride from the nephron is reduced and a hypotonic or isotonic urine produced. The evidence from many experimental studies suggests that furosemide acts along the entire nephron with the exception of the distal exchange site. |
|
| Hydrochlorothiazide and Triamterene |
The triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide combination is a diuretic/antihypertensive drug product that combines natriuretic and antikaliuretic effects. Each component complements the action of the other. |
