What is in Aminyllin?

The active ingredient in Aminyllin is Aminophylline. Aminophylline is a soluble double salt of Theophylline and ethylene diamine and this improves the solubility of the latter by about 20 times. This ensures a more reliable absorption of Theophylline from the gastrointestinal tract and more predictable effect. The drug Theophylline is a bronchodilator and diuretic. It opens the air passages in the lungs by relaxing the muscles in the lungs and chest.
