Theophylline Elixir


Generic Name: Theophylline Elixir (thee-OFF-i-lin)
Brand Name: Elixophyllin

Theophylline Elixir is used for:

Preventing and treating symptoms and blockage of airway due to asthma or other lung diseases such as emphysema or bronchitis. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Theophylline Elixir is a xanthine derivative. It works by relaxing the smooth muscle surrounding the bronchial tubes (air passages) of the lungs, allowing the tubes to widen, making breathing easier. Theophylline Elixir improves contraction of the diaphragm (the major breathing muscle).

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Theophylline Elixir (including ethylenediamine), similar medicines (eg, aminophylline), or xanthines (eg, caffeine, chocolate)
  • you are using large amounts of other products that contain xanthine (such as chocolate or caffeinated drinks)
  • you are taking dipyridamole intravenously (IV), halothane, or St. John"s wort

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
