Before Using
In deciding to using a medication,
the chance of taking the drug must be weighed against the good it will
do. This is a decision you will make. For aminophylline, oxtriphylline,
or theophylline, the following must be considered
Allergic reaction
Tell your family doctor if you have any unusual or
allergy to aminophylline, ethylenediamine - contained in aminophylline,
oxtriphylline, or theophylline.
Diet Make certain your health care professional
knows if you are on any special diet, such as a high-protein, low-carbohydrate
or a low-protein, high-carbohydrate diet.
Pregnancy care
Aminophylline, oxtriphylline and theophylline are
frequently using to treat asthma in pregnant women. Although there are no studies
on birth defects, problems have not been reported. Some studies
in pets have shown that aminophylline, oxtriphylline and theophylline
can cause birth defects when given in doses many times the human dose.Because your ability to clear theophylline from your body may decrease
later in pregnancy, your family doctor may want to take blood samples during your
pregnancy to measure the amount of drug in the blood. This will help your
family doctor decide whether the dose of this drug must be changed.
Theophylline crosses the placenta. Use of aminophylline, oxtriphylline,
or theophylline during pregnancy may cause unwanted effects such as fast heartbeat,
irritability, jitteriness, or vomiting in the newborn infant if the amount
of drug in your blood is too high.
Breast-feeding problem
Theophylline passes into the breast milk and may
cause irritability in nursing babies of mothers taking aminophylline, oxtriphylline,
or theophylline.
Use for Children
Very young children and newborn infants require a
lower dose than older children. If the amount of theophylline in the blood
is too high, side effects are more likely to occur. Your family doctor may want to
take blood samples to determine whether a dose change is needed.
Elderly care
Patients older than 60 years of age are likely to
require a lower dose than adults people. If the amount of theophylline is
too high, side effects are more likely to occur. Your family doctor may want to take
blood samples to determine whether a dose change is needed.
Drug interactions
Although certain medication must not be using
together at all, in other cases two various medication may be using together
even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your family doctor may want to
change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking
