Abbreviated New Drug Application
THEOPHYLLINE- THEOPHYLLINE ANHYDROUS SOLUTION MARLEX PHARMACEUTICALS INC ---------- THEOPHYLLINE THEOPHYLLINE ORAL SOLUTION, USP 80 MG/ 15 ML DESCRIPTION Theophylline 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 0 with a molecular weight of 180.17. THEOPHYLLINE ORAL SOLUTION, USP is available as a liquid intended for oral administration, containing 80 mg of theophylline anhydrous in each 15 mL (tablespoonful). THEOPHYLLINE ORAL SOLUTION, USP also contains the following inactive ingredients: citric acid, sodium saccharin, sodium benzoate, glycerin, propylene glycol, FD and C Red #40, natural and artificial fruity flavor and purified water. THEOPHYLLINE ORAL SOLUTION, USP has a pH of 4.0 – 5.0. 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) and adenosine receptor antagonism (e.g., alterations in cerebral blood flow). Theophylline increases the force of contraction of diaphragmatic muscles. This action appea Đọc toàn bộ tài liệu
