Containing the active ingredient doxofylline, Maxivent is a bronchodilator prescribed for the management and treatment of obstructive airway diseases. Like other xanthine derivatives, doxofylline inhibits phosphodiesterase activity to relax muscles in the airways, making breathing easier. Maxivent offers similar efficacy to older xanthine medications but with a reduced risk of serious side effects.
