What is the difference between the Deriphyllin od 300 & Deriphyllin retard 150? ## Hello, Laksmi! How are you? From what I can find, the only difference is the dosage, otherwise they are both just different brand names for Theophylline, which is used to treat asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory disorders. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am suffering from on and off cough . Can I take deriphyllin 300 ? ## SIR, CAN YOU PLEASE ANSWER FOR THIS . DIFFERENCIATE DERIPHYLLIN OD 300 AND DERIPHYLLIN 300

I have been told that theophylline er is being discontinued. Is this true? I have taken it for years for asthma. ## 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? ## From what I've been told, all strengths of Theophylline is on bac...

kindly tell me that whether doxophyline increses the pulse rate and BLOOD pressure. thank u, Baldev kumar ## Doxofylline is basically a xanthine derivative like theophylline. All xanthine derivatives have the effect on heart rate and pulse rate because of their affinity towards adenosine receptors (A1 & A2 receptors, which are present in heart to regulate the oxygen demand, in brain involve in hormone secretions, in skin, also in some other parts of body.) When these receptors are stimulated they effect on heart rate and increase the blood pressure and palpitation. Doxofylline is found to have the very least affinity for adenosine receptors, and this is the basic difference between doxofylline and other xanthine derivative specially theophylline, and this is because of its chemical ...

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEOPHYLLINE SA AND THEOPHYLLINE ER... ## Hello, Gisela! How are you? There is no difference, they are both just abbreviations that designate it as being a time released formulation of the medication. There are quite a few that the pharmaceutical industry can pick from. The SA stands for sustained action and the ER for extended release. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including diarrhea, nausea and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?

My Farther has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure with terrible blue thick swollen legs, water sometimes leaks through the skin. The cardiologist gave him Sandoz Theophylline 200mg, Plenish K, Cortaject, Angised, I found out what the rest is for {Pulmison, Purgoxin. Spiractin} but couldn't find anything on the 1st 4 pills. Could you please let me know what it's for. ## Hello, Esta! How is your father doing? Plenish K is a potassium supplement used to prevent the potassium loss that may happen, when someone is on medications to remove excess fluid from the body. It can be dangerous, if someone's potassium drops too low, so the doctor likely prescribed this as a precautionary measure. The FDA does warn that potassium supplements can be very rough on the stomach, so h...
