Mode of Action
Theophylline competitively blocks phosphodiesterase which increases cAMP tissue concentrations causing bronchodilatation, diuresis, CNS and cardiac stimulation, and gastric acid secretion.
Precaution
Patient w/ peptic ulceration, hyperthyroidism, DM, glaucoma, severe hypoxemia, epilepsy, HTN, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias or other CV disease, acute febrile illness, COPD, cor pulmonale; smokers. Hepatic or renal impairment. Elderly and childn. Pregnancy and lactation. Monitoring Parameters Monitor heart rate, CNS effects, resp rate, arterial or capillary blood gases, theophylline levels.
Lactation: Theophylline is excreted into breast milk and may cause irritability or other signs of mild toxicity in nursing human infants; serious adverse effects in infant are unlikely unless mother has toxic serum theophylline concentration
Side Effect
Nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, abdominal cramps, anorexia, diarrhoea, haematemesis; headache, irritability, restlessness, nervousness, insomnia, dizziness, reflex hyperexcitability, seizures; palpitations, sinus tachycardia, extrasystoles, increased pulse rate, flushing, circulatory failure, hypotension, ventricular arrhythmias; transient increase in urinary frequency, dehydration, twitching of fingers and hands, tachypnoea, elevated serum AST concentrations.
Potentially Fatal: Convulsions, cardiac arrhythmias, severe hypotension or cardiac arrest.
Interaction
Increased plasma concentrations w/ allopurinol, some antiarrhythmics, cimetidine, disulfiram, fluvoxamine, interferon alfa, macrolide antibiotics, quinolones, OCs, tiabendazole, viloxazine, Ca channel blockers. Reduced plasma concentrations w/ phenytoin and other antiepileptics, ritonavir, rifampicin, sulfinpyrazone, aminoglutethimide, barbiturates, carbamazepine. Enhanced lithium excretion. May potentiate hypokalaemia w/ corticosteroids and diuretics. Risk of synergistic toxicity when given w/ halothane or ketamine. May antagonise effects of adenosine and competitive neuromuscular blockers. Increased bronchospasm w/ β-blockers.
