The effect of fluvoxamine on theophylline pharmacokinetics has been characterised in two studies in healthy subjects. In the first study the AUC of theophylline (given as a single 442-mg oral dose of aminophylline) was increased almost threefold, the clearance was reduced by 62% and the half-life was prolonged from 7.4 to 32.1 hours by fluvoxamine 50 mg daily for 3 days then 100 mg daily for 13 days. In the seeond study, the elear-ance of theophylline (given as a single 300-mg oral dose of aminophylline) was reduced by about 70% and the half-life was inereased from 6.6 to 22 hours by fluvoxamine 50 to 100 mg daily for 7 days. This interaction was shown to be reduced in patients with mild and severe liver cirrhosis (Child class A and C, respectively), whereas the elearanee of a single 4-mg/kg dose of theophylline elixir was reduced by 62%, 52%, and 10.5% in healthy subjects, patients with mild cirrhosis, and patients with severe cirrhosis, respectively. The half-life of theophylline was increased by 13.6 hours in healthy subjects compared with 10.5 hours in patients with mild cirrhosis and 1 hour in patients with severe cirrhosis, demonstrating the reduced metabolic capabilities of the cirrhotic liver. ...

Following a single oral dose of 5 mg/kg of an elixir containing theophylline, administered to 12 subjects, peak serum concentrations of 11.0 to 16.8 ig/ml (mean 13.9) were attained in 0.5 to 2 hours (R. L. Manfredi and E. 

Dyphylline is the N-7 dihydroxypropyl derivative of theophyiiine and is not a theophylline salt. Dyphylline does not get metabolized to theophylline in vivo, and even though it contains 70% theophylline by molecular weight ratio, the equivalent amount to theophylline is not known. Dosing must be accomplished independently by monitoring dyphylline blood levels. Dyphylline has a diminished bronchodilator effect compared to theophylline, but it may have lower and less serious side effects. Dosage forms available are an elixir and tablets.

Oral terbutaline decreased serum theophylline levels by about 10% in 6 asthmatics, but the control of asthma was improved. Another study in asthmatic children, found that terbutaline elixir 75 micrograms/kg three times daily reduced steady-state serum levels of theophylline by 22%, but the symptoms of cough and wheeze improved. Yet another study found no changes in the pharmacokinetics of aminophylline in asthmatic children given terbutaline. ...
