If the required daily dose is 400 mg, Doxophylline SR tablet should be taken once daily or as prescribed by the physician.
Interaction
Xofyl 200 should not be taken with other xanthine medications. Limit caffeine intake from food and drinks. Caution is needed when used with ephedrine or other similar drugs. Some drugs, like erythromycin, allopurinol, and others, may increase the drug’s effect, while smoking and other drugs like phenytoin may reduce Xofyl 200. Dosage adjustments may be needed.
Contraindications
Xofyl 200 is not recommended for people who are allergic to the drug or other xanthine derivatives. Xofyl 200 is also not recommended for people with acute heart attacks, low blood pressure, or for breastfeeding mothers.

If side effects happen, the treatment may be stopped, but can be restarted at a lower dose after symptoms improve.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Animal tests have shown that Xofyl 200 does not affect the growth of babies before or after birth. However, there is not enough information about its safety during pregnancy, so Xofyl 200 should be used carefully. Xofyl 200 is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers.
Precautions & Warnings
People with liver disease, heart disease, lung disease, and other conditions should use Xofyl 200 carefully. Xofyl 200 should be monitored in patients with conditions like congestive heart failure as the drug stays in the body longer. Xofyl 200 is not addictive and does not cause dependence.
Overdose Effects
If an overdose occurs, severe heart problems or seizures may happen. There is no specific antidote, so treatment should focus on relieving symptoms. The drug may be restarted at a lower dose once symptoms of overdose are gone.
