Doxovent (Doxofylline) is a bronchodilator used for asthma or COPD. It can be used long-term if the underlying condition requires it, but you should not extend the course on your own without medical advice â the duration depends on your diagnosis, severity, and response to treatment.
Next Steps
Follow up with your prescribing doctor, share your current symptoms, and ask if continuation is needed. Do not self-extend prescription medications. Consult me on Practo for further guidance.
