What is guaifenesin and theophylline?

Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It is used to break up congestion and mucous and to help you breathe more easily. Guaifenesin thins mucous, increases the lubrication of your respiratory tract (lungs, nose, and throat), and increases the removal of mucous.

Theophylline is a bronchodilator. Theophylline works in several ways: It relaxes muscles in your lungs and chest to increase airflow, decreases the sensitivity of your lungs to allergens and other substances that cause inflammation, and increases the contractions of your diaphragm so that more air is drawn into the lungs.

The combination, guaifenesin and theophylline, is used to treat symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema.

Guaifenesin and theophylline may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about guaifenesin and theophylline?

Do not crush or chew any extended-release formulation of guaifenesin and theophylline. Swallow the medication whole. It is specially formulated to release slowly in your body. If you do not know whether you have an extended-release formulation, ask your pharmacist.

Call your doctor right away if you experience nausea, vomiting, insomnia, restlessness, seizures, an increased heart rate, or a headache. These symptoms could be signs of too much theophylline in your blood.

Do not start or stop smoking without first talking to your doctor. Smoking changes the way your body uses theophylline, and you may need a dosage adjustment.

Do not take more of this medicine than is prescribed without consulting your doctor. Seek medical attention if you are having increasingly difficult breathing.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking guaifenesin and theophylline?

Do not take guaifenesin and theophylline without first talking to your doctor if you have
  • a stomach ulcer; or

  • epilepsy or another seizure disorder.

It may be dangerous to take guaifenesin and theophylline if you have either of these conditions.

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have

  • high blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, congestive heart failure, or any other type of heart disease;

  • fluid in your lungs;

  • a thyroid condition;

  • a fever;

  • liver disease; or

  • kidney disease.

You may not be able to take guaifenesin and theophylline, or you may require a lower dose or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.

Guaifenesin and theophylline is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether guaifenesin and theophylline will harm an unborn baby. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. Guaifenesin and theophylline passes into breast milk and may affect a nursing infant. Do not take guaifenesin and theophylline without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. If you are over 60 years of age, you may be more likely to experience side effects from guaifenesin and theophylline. You may require a lower dose of this medication.

How should I take guaifenesin and theophylline?

Take guaifenesin and theophylline exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

Take each dose with a full glass of water. Increase your fluid intake during the day to help relieve congestion and thin mucus. Guaifenesin and theophylline can be taken with food to lessen stomach upset.

Take your doses at the same time every day to keep a constant level of guaifenesin and theophylline in your blood.

Do not crush or chew any extended-release formulation of guaifenesin and theophylline. Swallow the medication whole. It is specially formulated to release slowly in your body. If you do not know whether you have an extended-release formulation, ask your pharmacist. Shake the liquid forms of this medication well before use. To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the liquid with a dose-measuring cup or spoon, not a regular tablespoon. If a spoon or cup is not provided with the medication and you do not have one, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.

Do not switch brand or formulation (tablet, capsule, liquid) without the approval of your doctor. A change in brand or formulation may necessitate a different dosage.

Store guaifenesin and theophylline at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next regularly scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take the next one as directed. Do not take a double dose of this medication.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention.

Symptoms of a guaifenesin and theophylline overdose include nausea, vomiting, headache, insomnia, tremor (shaking hands or twitching), irritability, restlessness, seizures, and fast or irregular heartbeats.

What should I avoid while taking guaifenesin and theophylline?

Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Guaifenesin and theophylline may cause dizziness. If you experience dizziness, avoid these activities. Avoid alcohol or use it with moderation while taking guaifenesin and theophylline. Alcohol can increase the effects of theophylline leading to side effects. Do not start or stop smoking without first talking to your doctor. Smoking changes the way your body uses theophylline, and you may need a dose adjustment.

Do not switch brand or formulation (tablet, capsule, liquid) without the approval of your doctor. A change in brand or formulation may necessitate a different dosage.

Avoid eating excessive amounts of grilled or char-broiled foods. These foods may affect how much theophylline you need. Talk to your doctor before making changes in your diet.

Avoid excessive use of caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and cola. Theophylline is related chemically to caffeine. You may experience some side effects if you consume too much caffeine.

  • seizures;

  • increased or irregular heartbeats; or
