Dyline GG

Dyline GG is indicated as a bronchodilator-expectorant for treating bronchial asthma,

emphysema, bronchitis, pneumonitis and other related bronchopulmonary insufficiency conditions.

Dyline GG acts to dilate bronchioles and liquefy mucus, giving relief from dyspnea,

non-productive cough and tracheobronchial irritation.

Dyphylline (Dyline GG) is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing.

Guaifenesin (Dyline GG) is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth.

Dyphylline (Dyline GG) and Guaifenesin (Dyline GG) is a combination medicine used to treat cough and breathing problems caused by conditions such as bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema.

This medication is not a rescue medication for asthma or bronchitis, and is not a cure for emphysema.

Dyphylline (Dyline GG) and Guaifenesin (Dyline GG) may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
