Intravenous theophylline?

Aminophylline (theophylline ethylenediamine) has been widely used orally, intravenously, and rectally as a bronchodilator of choice in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Its popularity for chronic oral administration has declined in recent years due to the development of a multitude of conventional and sustained release anhydrous theophylline preparations. The availability of a premixed intravenous theophylline product may further reduce aminophylline usage. This article reviews the potential usefulness of premixed intravenous theophylline.
