Theophylline LA
Theophylline LA (long-acting) is a bronchodilator used in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It works by relaxing muscles in the lungs and chest, thus improving breathing. It also decreases the response of the airways to irritants.
How is this medication used?
Theophylline LA should be taken orally, usually once or twice a day. It should be swallowed whole, not crushed or chewed, to ensure the medication is released slowly in the body. Dosing is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and the levels of theophylline in your blood.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects include nausea, headache, insomnia, and increased heart rate. Serious side effects may include seizures, irregular heartbeat, and severe hypersensitivity reactions. Notify your healthcare provider if any of these symptoms occur.
What are the potential interactions?
Theophylline interacts with a wide range of drugs, including cimetidine, quinolone antibiotics, fluvoxamine, and verapamil among others. Cigarette smoking and marijuana can affect how your body processes theophylline, potentially altering its effectiveness. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications, supplements, and herbs you are taking.
