Aminophylline had 7 mechanisms to act in the bofy and works at different levels to control the symptoms of  breathlessness   seen as a part of asthma or copd. You can safely take it in the prescribed dose.  And take regular follow up with the doctor.  The medicine might get discontinued if not indicated later
