Posted: 09/21/06 - 23:00 Post subject: Theophyllin levels
What levels of theophylin are recommended in asthma? What values are allowed? I’m interested in limit levels
and the lowest effective values of theophylin. Which drugs are similar to theophyllin? I just need to get the few information. Thanks in advance.
Theophylin belongs to a group of methylxantines, with caffeine and theobromine, but these two substances are not that powerful in opening airways. Theophyllin blood levels between 5 and 15 mg/l are therapeutic and give good results. Up to 15 mg/l, there is a greater risk of side effects. Level less than 5 mg/l may be effective in some persons too.
