Introduction
The effects and functions of aminophylline generally include bronchodilation, anti-inflammatory action, enhanced myocardial contractility, mild diuresis, and improved cardiac function. Aminophylline can relax bronchial smooth muscles, thereby dilating the bronchi, reducing airway resistance, improving airflow limitation, and helping patients breathe more easily. It is recommended to use aminophylline under the guidance of a physician.
The effects and functions of aminophylline generally include bronchodilation, anti-inflammatory action, enhanced myocardial contractility, mild diuresis, and improved cardiac function. Specific details are as follows:
1. Bronchodilation: Aminophylline relaxes bronchial smooth muscles, dilates the bronchi, reduces airway resistance, and improves airflow limitation.
2. Anti-inflammatory effect: Aminophylline also has certain anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the release of inflammatory mediators and alleviating airway inflammatory responses.
3. Enhanced myocardial contractility: Aminophylline strengthens myocardial contraction, dilates coronary arteries, and increases blood supply to the heart muscle.
4. Mild diuresis: Aminophylline has a mild diuretic effect, promoting renal blood flow and increasing glomerular filtration rate.
5. Improved cardiac function: Aminophylline exerts beneficial effects on the heart by enhancing myocardial contractility and improving cardiac pumping function.
It is recommended to use aminophylline only under the guidance of a physician; self-medication is not advised. If any discomfort occurs, seek medical attention promptly.
