HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Deriphyllin is the same as a medication called theophylline. It is used to help relax the airways. Doxolin is similar to theophylline but is thought to have fewer side effects. If you are having recurrent attacks, you should also consider increasing your preventer medication. This means that your steroid inhaler dose may need to be increased. If it is at its maximum then you should be using a combination inhaler (a steroid inhaler plus long acting bronchodilator)This would be the best way of controlling your asthma hope this helps
