Aminophylline injection is a prescription bronchodilator used in hospital or clinical settings to treat acute, severe breathing problems like asthma or COPD flare-ups. Given as a slow intravenous (IV) infusion, it relaxes the muscles in the airways to improve breathing
Aminophylline is a combination of theophylline and ethylenediamine. Once in the bloodstream, it converts to active theophylline, which relaxes bronchial smooth muscles to open narrowed airways. Stimulates the heart and respiratory center. Provides mild, short-term diuretic effects.
Hospital Use Only: It must be administered by a healthcare professional via slow IV push or continuous infusion
