    Abstract:
    The efficacy of microcrystalline theophylline is examined in patients with stabilized bronchial asthma. Beside the concentration of theophylline in the serum are estimated: the changes of subjective state of health, the consumption of beta2-stimulants, VC and FEV1. Although in 8 of 10 patients the theophylline concentration in the serum was below the therapeutical range for a considerable period of time, an improvement of the subjectively estimated state of health, a diminished consumption of beta2-stimulants and an increasing VC and FEV1 are evident after 6-7 days, also statistically confirmed. Proposals are suggested for using all possibilities for an improved therapy with theophylline.
