Scientific Evidence

Theophylline, the active ingredient in Teotard capsules, works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Studies have shown that theophylline can improve lung function and reduce symptoms of asthma and COPD.

Additional Information

It is important to monitor theophylline levels in the blood to ensure optimal dosing and avoid toxicity. Common side effects may include nausea, headache, and insomnia. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any severe side effects.

Pharmacological Effects: Theophylline acts as a bronchodilator by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, leading to improved airflow. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, reducing airway inflammation in conditions like asthma.

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of theophylline in improving lung function and reducing exacerbations in patients with asthma and COPD. One study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology showed that theophylline significantly increased forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in asthmatic patients.
