What is Aminophyllin

AminophyllineThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryAminophylline is a combination of two drugs, theophylline and ethylenediamine, used to treat lung diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and COPD. It works by blocking certain receptors and activating an enzyme in the body. Although it was once widely used, most aminophylline medications have been discontinued and the remaining medications are in limited supply.

Effectiveness

How Aminophyllin Affects PatientsAminophylline is a drug made from the compound theophylline. It has several effects on the body, such as increasing alertness, stimulating muscles, and relaxing the muscles in the airways. It also causes an increase in urine production and more acid to be produced in the stomach.
How Aminophyllin works in the bodyAminophylline is a medicine that helps to open up the airways in your lungs, making it easier to breathe. It does this by blocking certain enzymes and receptors that cause tightness and constriction in the airways. It also helps to reduce inflammation, which can make breathing even more difficult.

Patient Q&A Section about aminophyllin

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is difference between aminophylline and theophylline?

"Theophylline stimulates the central nervous system, skeletal muscles, and cardiac muscle. It relaxes certain smooth muscles in the bronchi, produces diuresis, and causes an increase in gastric secretion."

Answered by AI

What is another name for aminophylline?

"There are several brands of theophylline available, including Theo 24, Theochron, Elixophyllin, aminophylline, and Uniphyl."

Answered by AI

What is aminophylline used for?

"Aminophylline is used in conjunction with other medications to manage the acute symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and other pulmonary disorders in a hospital setting. Aminophylline is classified as a bronchodilator."

Answered by AI

Why Aminophylline is given slowly?

"Aminophylline should be administered intravenously slowly to avoid dangerous side-effects that stimulate the central nervous system and cardiovascular system. The rate should not exceed 25 mg/min."

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Asthma

18 - 60
All Sexes
Mayfield Heights, OH
Asthma is a common respiratory condition that can be difficult to control despite the use of medications such as inhalers, oral steroids or even injectable medications. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on technique used to improve the chest structure and function and may help in improving breathing. Previous research showed that OMT in asthma patients, can improve the movement of the ribs and improve the "peak flow" which is the maximum rate at which a person can exhale air after taking a deep breath. However, no studies have evaluated the impact of OMT on lung inflammation. This single-site research study at University Hospitals aims to evaluate whether Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) can reduce lung inflammation and improve breathing and lung function in adult patients with asthma. The lung function will be evaluated by Spirometry which is a test that measures how much air you can breathe in and out of your lungs, as well as how quickly and easily you can exhale air. The lung inflammation will be measured using a device that can detect how much you are breathing out Nitric Oxide which is a gas produced by inflamed cells in the lungs, this test is called: Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide or FeNO. Approximately 100 participants will be enrolled.

Inhaled Corticosteroids + Azithromycin for Asthma

13 - 75
All Sexes
Aurora, CO
While asthma therapy is becoming more individualized based on asthma phenotypes, more research is needed to tailor newer therapies to individuals. Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) medications are the foundation of care for all individuals with persistent asthma. But ICS use is not without possible long term side effects. This study will compare two currently available approaches to reduce AEX in primary care patients: (1) use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as part of rescue therapy, also known as MART (Maintenance And Reliever Therapy) or PARTICS (Patient Activated Reliever Trigger Inhaled Corticosteriods) therapy - either of these therapies will be called Rescue-Inhaled Corticosteroids or R-ICS pronounced "Ricks," and (2) use of azithromycin (AZ) as a preventive therapy. These treatments will be studied both individually and in combination.

Pharmacy Support System for Asthma

Any Age
All Sexes
Ajax, Canada
The goal of this study is to assess the effect of an electronic asthma management system in pharmacies (eAMS-Pharm) on asthma control assessment, asthma medication adjustment, asthma action plan delivery, and prompting for specialist referral in severe asthma. The study assesses the differences on pharmacy processes (affecting both the pharmacy team and patients) and pharmacy-delivered care using an interrupted time-series analysis (six-months before vs. six-months after the introduction of eAMS-Pharm in study pharmacy sites). The eAMS-Pharm uses patient data (asthma control, asthma flare-up risk, and current medications) to provide clinical decision support to pharmacists, empowering them to bridge existing gaps between guideline-recommended asthma care and patient care received.

PF-07275315 for Asthma

18 - 70
All Sexes
Mobile, AL
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called PF-07275315) for the potential treatment of moderate-to-severe asthma. Asthma is a condition that makes it challenging to breathe, which negatively impacts the quality of life and functioning of people who are affected. This study is seeking participants who: * Are 18 to 70 years old * Have had moderate-to-severe asthma for at least 12 months that is not well controlled * Have been taking their regular maintenance treatment(s) for asthma over the last 12 months All participants will receive PF-07275315 or a placebo. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. PF-07275315 or placebo will be given as multiple shots in the clinic over the course of 12 weeks. We will compare the experiences of people receiving PF-07275315 to those of the people who do not. This will help us determine if PF-07275315 is safe and effective. Participants will be involved in this study for about 9.5 months. During this time, they will have 10 visits at the study clinic.

Corticosteroids for Asthma

18+
All Sexes
Hamilton, Canada
Most individuals with asthma can effectively manage their symptoms and maintain normal lung function using inhaled medications, unfortunately, there is a subset of asthma sufferers whose symptoms, lung function, and risk of asthma attacks remain unimproved despite conventional inhaled medications. There could be several reasons for this. One possibility is that inhaled medications fail to reach the intended areas within the lungs, due to structural abnormalities within the airways themselves. Much like road conditions or closures can impede the speed and efficiency of vehicle travel, factors such as airway narrowing or mucus blockages, which are common in asthma, can obstruct the passage of inhaled medications through the airways. Our team has now optimized advanced medical imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), required to investigate this. This study will use these imaging methods to visually assess and measure individual patients' airways and determine whether abnormal airway structures impact how well they respond to inhaled and orally delivered medications. We anticipate finding that abnormal airway structures make inhaled medications less effective, but that they do not affect the response to oral medications.
