Most important fact about Theophylline
Theophylline is a controlled-release medication. For an acute attack you should take an immediate-release medication instead of more Theophylline. If you develop status asthmaticus (a severe breathing difficulty that does not clear up with your usual medications), do not take extra Theophylline; instead, seek medical treatment immediately. Since even a little extra Theophylline may constitute an overdose, you should be treated in a place where close monitoring is possible. Individual doses are determined by a person's response (a decrease in symptoms of asthma). In order to avoid overdosing or underdosing, your doctor will perform regular tests to determine the amount of Theophylline in your bloodstream.
You should not change from Theophylline to another brand without first consulting your doctor or pharmacist. Products manufactured by different companies may not be equally effective.
How should you take Theophylline?
Take Theophylline exactly as prescribed. Do not change the dose, the time you take it, or how often you take it without consulting your doctor. This drug is available in two forms. The extended-release tablets should be swallowed whole, not crushed or chewed. The tablets of some brands, including Theophylline, are scored; if the doctor prescribes a partial dosage, these tablets should be broken only at the score. You may take the tablets with or without food. If you are taking them on a once-a-day basis, do not take the dose at night. The other form, Theophylline Sprinkle sustained-action capsules, must be taken either 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. You may take the capsule whole or open it and empty the contents onto a spoonful of food that is soft but not hot. Without chewing, immediately swallow the spoonful of food and follow it with a glass of cool water or juice. Always take the complete contents of the capsule. When taking Theophylline, you should avoid large amounts of caffeine-containing beverages, such as tea or coffee. --If you miss a dose...Take the next dose at the regular time. Do not try to make up the dose you missed. --Storage instructions...
Store at room temperature. Keep the container tightly closed. Protect from excessive heat, light, and moisture. Make sure this medicine is kept out of reach of children.
What Theophylline side effects may occur?
Side effects from Theophylline cannot be anticipated. Nausea and restlessness may occur when you first start to take Theophylline, but will probably disappear as your body becomes used to the drug. If side effects persist, see your doctor; the dosage may be too high.
Other side effects may include:
Convulsions, diarrhea, disturbances of heart rhythm, excitability,
frequent urination, hair loss, headache, heart palpitations,
insomnia, irritability, muscle twitching, rash, severe seizures,
tremors, vomiting
Theophylline Overdosage
Most of the symptoms listed in the "side effects" section are actually caused by slight overdosage. Be aware that a flu shot, influenza itself, or another viral infection may make your usual dose of Theophylline act like an overdose. Consult your doctor if you anticipate getting a flu shot, or if you think you have the flu; you may need a temporary dosage reduction.
A mild overdose of Theophylline may cause nausea and restlessness. Taking too much over a long period of time may cause serious heartbeat irregularities, convulsions, or even death. If at any time you suspect symptoms of an overdose of Theophylline, seek medical attention immediately.
