There is increasing evidence that theophylline has anti- inflammatory or immunomodulatory actions in asthma (2)
June 17, 2002 99 ( 13) 8921-8926 0 0 Abstract The molecular mechanism for the anti-inflammatory action of theophylline is currently
Theophylline is a medication used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as a second-line drug
Theophylline is a bronchodilator, which is medicine that makes breathing easier
The mechanism of bronchorelaxation of the drug theophylline, a xanthine derivative, is by inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity which leads to increased amount
It was originally used as a bronchodilator but the relatively high doses required are associated with frequent side effects, so its use

However, some hypotheses are based on its structural similarity to adenosine and 3 1,5 1-cyclic adenosinemonophosphate
This activity reviews the indications, action, and contraindications for theophylline as a potential agent in treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Theophylline has two distinct actions in the airways of patients with reversible obstruction; smooth muscle relaxation (i
