Treatment of asthma in preschool children with slow release theophylline.

چکیده
Fifty two preschool children with asthma were given a recommended regimen of slow release theophylline. There was wide variation in the metabolism of theophylline. The approach adopted gave disappointing results. Nine children did not comply, and 16 stopped treatment because of side effects. Of the remainder, control of asthma was poor in 15 and satisfactory in 12.

Slow release theophylline in preschool asthmatics.
A double blind crossover trial with active or placebo slow release theophylline (Slo-phyllin) in children with asthma aged up to 4 years is described. Although no difference in symptom scores was shown, other differences in favour of active treatment were noted.

Satisfactory serum theophylline concentrations were obtained in 17 children, with few side effects. There was a signi...

متن کاملSerum theophylline levels in asthmatic children after oral administration of two slow-release theophylline preparations.
Serum theophylline levels were measured throughout the day in 65 asthmatic children receiving one of two slow-release theophylline compounds. There was a wide interindividual variation in levels obtained with similar doses of pure theophylline, and also a wide intraindividaual variation in levels throughout the day, suggesting that the rates of release and/or absorption of theophylline from the...

In a double-blind cross-over study, the effects of slow release (S-R) terbutaline tablets (b.i.d. 0.25 mg/kg per day) and S-R theophylline (5.31 mg/kg morning and 10.62 mg/kg evening) were compared in eleven patients with nocturnal asthma. On day seven of each treatment period, drug serum concentrations and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were measured every 2h over a 24-h period. During daytime, te...
