Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Theophylline Sustained-Release (SR) Pellets are multiparticulate oral delivery systems designed for the prolonged and controlled release of Theophylline, a methylxanthine bronchodilator. Widely used in the management of asthma, COPD, and other chronic respiratory conditions, these pellets maintain steady plasma concentrations, reduce dosing frequency, and minimize side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation.

Theophylline SR Pellets are used in the management of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and COPD, where sustained bronchodilation is required to improve airflow and reduce respiratory symptoms.
The pellets are engineered with sustained-release coating systems that control drug diffusion, helping maintain uniform plasma concentrations and reduce dosing fluctuations.
Yes. The pellets exhibit good stability at controlled room temperature and are supplied in export-grade, moisture-resistant packaging to preserve quality during international shipping.
Pelletization enables dose flexibility, better content uniformity, and reduced risk of dose dumping, making it suitable for respiratory formulations requiring controlled release.
