Important features of euphyllin are its solubility in water and the possibility of its parenteral (intravenous) administration.

Like theophylline, euphyllin relaxes the muscles of the bronchi, lowers the resistance of the blood vessels, dilates the coronary vessels, lowers the pressure in the pulmonary artery system, increases the renal blood flow, has a diuretic effect, associated mainly with lowering tubular reabsorption; Causes an increase in excretion of urine and water electrolytes, especially sodium and chlorine ions.
