Hi, so far holding ok without but feel an infection could really set me on my behind! My pulmanologist told my of the discontinuation, but he's also not a fan of theophylline. (He's a new doctor for me so I don't know him well yet.) I hope tumors are not true, it's very difficult to find something that works really well and breathing is not something you want to experiment with. Wish the drug company yes/no guys could live a day or two on our shoes!

I too rely on this prescription to breathe. My pharmacy is telling me that 200 mg ER has been discontinued, but 300 and 400 mg doses are still available. They had sketchy info on whether these doses would continue.

From what I've been told, all strengths of Theophylline is on back order due to increased demand. I rely on this drug to breathe and am totally miserable now. I was told it would be available most likely by mid April but that is not a definite. I have no idea why there is suddenly an increased demand.

Hello, Terri! How are you?

I've not found anything about it being discontinued. Where you told that by a pharmacist or did it come from some other source?

There were a couple that were discontinued back in 2003, due to the fact that it's rarely prescribed, anymore. But I've not read anything in my various resources that the current one available is being discontinued. Though, a doctor or pharmacist may, admittedly, have more updated information than I do.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and dry mouth.

Does anyone else know anything about this?
