The concurrent use of xanthines such as theophylline and beta-agonist bronchodilators is a useful option in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but potentiation of some adverse reactions can occur, the most serious being hypokalaemia and tachycardia, particularly with high-dose theophylline. Some patients may have a significant fall in serum theophylline levels if given oral or intravenous salbutamol (albuterol) or intravenous isoprenaline (isoproterenol). [Pg.1174]
