[Dose titration with Euphylong following prior determination of serum concentration in the steady state]

Euphylong is a theophylline preparation with new galenic slow-release design (micropellets in a capsule), developed for daily single-dose administration in the evening. It has been shown that the majority of patients with bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive bronchitis or emphysema who receive a single evening dose of Euphylong have a theophylline serum concentration that remains within the therapeutic range for 24 hours when the theophylline serum concentration measured at 8 a.m. under steady-state conditions is found to lie within the therapeutic range.
