What is Theophylline?

Theophylline is a member of a drug class called methylxanthines, and it is used to treat symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and other lung conditions. Theophylline works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the lungs and airways, making it easier to breathe.

Tell your doctor if you have a history of active peptic ulcer disease, seizure disorders, or heart rhythm problems as Theophylline may worsen these conditions. You should also tell your doctor if you have a history of hypothyroidism, liver disease, kidney problems, congestive heart failure, or other medical conditions before taking Theophylline. Your doctor should be informed if you drink alcohol; if you smoke or have recently quit smoking; if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant; or if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed. To avoid potential drug interactions while taking this medication, be sure to tell your doctor about other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter and prescription drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins.

It should be noted that Theophylline should not be used as a rescue medicine for asthma attacks or bronchospasm. A fast-acting inhalation medicine should be used for an acute breathing problem. Seek medical attention if your breathing problems suddenly worsen while taking Theophylline, or if your symptoms don’t seem to improve during treatment.
