Abbreviated New Drug Application
THEOPHYLLINE (ANHYDROUS)- THEOPHYLLINE TABLET, EXTENDED RELEASE GOLDEN STATE MEDICAL SUPPLY, INC. ---------- THEOPHYLLINE (ANHYDROUS) EXTENDED-RELEASE TABLETS 400 MG AND 600 MG DESCRIPTION Theophylline (anhydrous) extended-release tablets in a controlled-release system allows a 24-hour dosing interval for appropriate patients. Theophylline, USP is structurally classified as a methylxanthine. It occurs as a white, odorless, crystalline powder with a bitter taste. Anhydrous theophylline has the chemical name 1H-Purine-2,6-dione,3,7-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-, and is represented by the following structural formula: The molecular formula of anhydrous theophylline is C H N O with a molecular weight of 180.17. Each extended-release tablet for oral administration, contains 400 mg or 600 mg of anhydrous theophylline. Inactive ingredients: glyceryl behenate, silicified microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY MECHANISM OF ACTION Theophylline has two distinct actions in the airways of patients with reversible obstruction; smooth muscle relaxation (i.e., bronchodilation) and suppression of the response of the airways to stimuli (i.e., non-bronchodilator prophylactic effects). While the mechanisms of action of theophylline are not known with certainty, studies in animals suggest that bronchodilatation is mediated by the inhibition of two isozymes of phosphodiesterase (PDE III and, to a lesser extent, PDE IV) while non-bronchodilator prophylactic actions are probably mediated through one or more different molecular mechanisms, that do not involve inhibition of PDE III or antagonism of adenosine receptors. Some of the adverse effects associated with theophylline appear to be mediated by inhibition of PDE III (e.g., hypotension, tachycardia, headache, and emesis) 7 8 4 2 and adenosine receptor antagonism (e.g., alterations in cerebral blood flow). Theophylline increases the force of contraction of diaphragmatic muscles. This action appears to be due to enhancement of calcium uptake t اقرأ الوثيقة كاملة
