Management of chronic airway obstruction: theophylline--is it still necessary?

Lung
D Ukena, G W Sybrecht

Abstract

Theophylline is a second-line drug for the symptomatic treatment of obstructive pulmonary diseases. It appears to be of particular value in the treatment of the more severe cases of airway obstruction. The likelihood of a therapeutic benefit and the safety of drug therapy can be increased markedly by an individually optimized theophylline therapy, that is, individual dosage and time of dosing, and monitoring the serum concentrations.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
