Theophylline is a methylxanthine drug used as a bronchodilator in the treatment of respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It has been largely supplanted by newer agents but is still used clinically, particularly for patients in whom inhaled therapies are not suitable.
Pharmacokinetics
Reported pharmacokinetics from healthy adult subjects following oral immediate-release administration.
