    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Asthma management often involves bronchodilators like theophylline.
    • Standard dosing guidelines exist for theophylline therapy.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with asthma required doses exceeding the usual therapeutic range.
    • These patients experienced theophylline-induced adverse events.

    Findings:

    • Individual variability in theophylline metabolism necessitates careful dose titration.
    • High-dose theophylline therapy in asthma carries significant risks.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians must monitor patients closely for adverse effects when using high-dose theophylline.
    • Alternative or adjunctive therapies may be considered for patients refractory to standard treatment.
