What is theophylline and what is it used for

Theophylline is a bronchodilator (dilates and opens the airways), a pulmonary vasodilator and a smooth muscle relaxant.

It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in your airways and the blood vessels in your lungs.

This medication is used to treat symptoms and reverse airflow obstruction associated with various respiratory problems such as chronic asthma (a condition of the respiratory system that causes difficulty breathing and wheezing) and other chronic lung diseases (such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, a condition that damages the air sacs).

In children taking ephedrine (available in some cough medicines and decongestants).

Warnings and precautions:

Stop taking the medicine immediately and talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you develop allergic reactions such as shortness of breath, rash, swelling of the face or neck, low blood pressure, and dizziness.

Talk to your doctor if your symptoms get worse or do not improve after a few days of starting this medication.
