What is Theophylline?

Theo-Dur (Theophylline) is an oral bronchodilator used for long-term management of asthma and COPD symptoms. This extended-release formulation helps maintain steady medication levels in the body. Ideal for daily respiratory support. Trusted in EU markets for reliable asthma control.

What is Theophylline used for?

Theo-Dur is commonly prescribed to help manage chronic asthma and other lung conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by relaxing airway muscles to improve breathing over time. People often use it to reduce wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. It’s designed for regular use rather than quick relief during flare-ups.

What are the side effects of Theophylline?

Theo-Dur is taken daily to help keep airways open and reduce the frequency of breathing difficulties. Users may notice improved airflow and fewer symptoms throughout the day. Some people experience mild side effects like nausea or headache, which are usually temporary. Consistent use helps maintain steady relief rather than immediate effects.

What precautions apply to Theophylline?

Theo-Dur should be taken exactly as directed by a healthcare provider to avoid side effects. It’s important to follow the prescribed schedule and not crush or chew extended-release tablets. Regular blood tests may be needed to monitor levels and adjust dosing. Keep this medication out of reach of children and pets.

What does Theophylline interact with?

Theo-Dur can interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, heart drugs, and stimulants. Alcohol and caffeine may increase side effects like jitteriness or rapid heartbeat. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you’re taking. Grapefruit products may also affect how the body processes this drug.
