  • Title: [Development of theophylline in treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
    Author: Xu YJ.
    Journal: Zhongguo Yi Xue Ke Xue Yuan Xue Bao; 2004 Jun; 26(3):319-22. PubMed ID: 15266839.
    Abstract:
    Theophylline has been reduced usage in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease because of the high frequency of side effects and the relatively low efficacy. However, recent researches have demonstrated that low-dose theophylline can not only relax airway smooth muscle but also have anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory actions, which provides theory basis for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
