Rofurest Tablet 10 contains Roflumilast (0.5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• PDE4 inhibition: Roflumilast selectively blocks an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4), which normally breaks down a substance called cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in your lungs.

• Increased cAMP levels: By preventing the breakdown of cAMP, roflumilast increases the concentration of this substance in lung tissues, which helps control inflammation.

• Airway muscle relaxation: The increased cAMP levels help relax the muscles around your airways, making it easier to breathe.

• Reduced inflammation: This medicine decreases inflammation in the lungs, which is a key factor in COPD symptoms and flare-ups.

• Protect the tablets from heat and moisture.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging until use.

• Store all medicines out of reach of children.

• Do not use the tablet after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Stay physically active with gentle exercises like walking or swimming to improve lung function and breathing capacity, but always start slowly and build up gradually.
