About Theophylline Theo-Dur


Theophylline is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the lungs and chest, and regularly makes the lungs less sensitive to allergens and other causes of bronchospasm.

Theophylline is used to treat the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis and emphysema.
Theophylline belongs to a class of medications called bronchodilators, used in treating asthma and other airway diseases.
Asthma is a breathing problem involving narrowing of the airways. Airways are breathing passages that allow air to move in and out of the lungs. Airways can be narrowed due to accumulation of mucus, spasm of the muscles that surround these airways, or swelling of the lining of the airways. Airway narrowing leads to symptoms of shortness of breath, wheezing, cough and congestion. The narrowed airways can open either spontaneously or from medications. Medications that open airways are called bronchodilators. Theophylline opens airways by relaxing the smooth muscles in the walls of the airways. Theophylline can also be helpful in patients with emphysema and chronic bronchitis when their symptoms are partially related to reversible airway narrowing. Theophylline also strengthens right heart function and diaphragm movement.

Theophylline is used in the relief and prevention of airway narrowing (bronchospasm) in patients with asthma. Theophylline can also be used in treating patients with emphysema and chronic bronchitis when their symptoms are related to reversible airway narrowing. Theophylline can be administered together with other bronchodilators, such as albuterol (Ventolin, Proventil) for added bronchodilator effect.
