Abstract:
This report reviews the clinical use, metabolism and toxicity of theophylline (Section 1). Current chromatographic and immunoassay methods for theophylline measurement are discussed and practical methods using high-performance liquid chromatography are described (Section 2). Results from the UK National scheme for theophylline quality control and from an experiment to investigate the degree of interference by 1,7-dimethylxanthine in routine assays for theophylline are discussed in Section 3.
