Treatment Summary
Aminophylline is a combination of two drugs, theophylline and ethylenediamine, that is used to treat lung diseases like asthma, chronic bronchitis, and COPD. The theophylline works by blocking certain enzymes and receptors in the body and activating histone deacetylases. Although aminophylline has been largely discontinued, some medications are still available but in limited supply.

How Phyllocontin Affects Patients
Aminophylline is a form of theophylline that helps stimulate the central nervous system, skeletal muscles, and heart muscles. It also relaxes certain muscles in the lungs, increases urine production, and boosts the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
How Phyllocontin works in the body
Aminophylline is a medicine that contains theophylline, which can help relax the airways and blood vessels in your lungs. This helps people with breathing problems, like asthma. Theophylline works by blocking enzymes responsible for breaking down a molecule called cyclic AMP, which causes the airways to constrict. It also blocks adenosine molecules, which can cause bronchoconstriction. In inflammatory states, it can stop genes from being activated that lead to inflammation.
