Once a day theophylline; serum concentrations.
Abstract
Twenty four hour profiles of serum theophylline concentrations were examined in 15 asthmatic children taking a new theophylline preparation once a day. Peak concentrations occurred at a time when nocturnal wheezing is likely. Fluctuation in concentrations throughout the day was greater than with other currently available preparations, but the importance of this has yet to be determined.
