Theophylline Detection Service

Theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine) is a plant alkaloid naturally occurring in tea and cocoa beans. It is one of the most clinically monitored drugs and is often used as a bronchodilator and respiratory stimulant for the treatment of symptoms of acute and chronic asthma. It is widely used in developing countries because of its low cost. Abundant evidences have indicated that low-dose theophylline possesses anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects in certain diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, excessive amounts of theophylline may be harmful to the body or cause permanent neurological damage. To ensure that the dose of theophylline is at the correct therapeutic level, qualitative and quantitative testing of theophylline in both drug and plasma samples is required.
