Abstract
It is important to monitor the blood theophylline levels during intraveneous aminophylline infusion in the treatment of acute exacerbation of asthma. Only by monitoring, we can use adequate aminophylline for its bronchodilating effect. We accummulated the data of 995 pharmacokinetic analysis from 451 cases of bronchial asthma during intraveneous aminophylline infusion therapy. From these data, we propose the ideal method and dosage of intraveneous aminophylline infusion for each age and sex.
