Aminophylline

The Generic name of this drug

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.

When to interrupt dosage

The measure of Phyllocontin is contingent upon the declared health issue, including Chronic Bronchitis, Lung Disorder and Bronchospasm. The amount of dosage is contingent upon the approach of delivery (e.g. Intravenous or Suppository) indicated in the table underneath.

Phyllocontin for Allergic Asthma that is Resistant to Treatment

Though it took a little over a year for this to start working for me, it has made an incredible difference that has improved my quality of life by 100%. I would highly recommend this drug to others, even though there are some risks associated with taking it.

Phyllocontin for Persistent Hives of Unknown Cause

Xolair has been an absolute godsend for me. I suffered from full-body hives for months before trying this, and it was honestly the only thing that worked. It took some time to start seeing results, but once it did, the difference was night and day. I highly recommend giving this a shot if you're struggling with chronic hives like I was.

Phyllocontin for Persistent Hives of Unknown Cause

I had my first Xolair injection 5 months ago and it has completely changed my life for the better. I haven't had a single hive since the treatment, which is amazing considering I've been suffering from chronic uticaria for over 7 years. The injections haven't been as costly as I was initially told, which is great. Overall, Xolair has changed my life for the better in so many ways.

Phyllocontin for Allergic Asthma that is Resistant to Treatment

This drug has been life-changing for me. I needed my Ventolin inhaler once a week before starting Xolair, and now 2 1/2 months in, I've only used about half of it. I'm more active than ever, and feeling great!

Phyllocontin for Allergic Asthma that is Resistant to Treatment

Xolair has been a complete game-changer for me. I've had asthma since I was two years old, and it used to flare up every evening no matter what medication or inhaler I was using. Xolair keeps me breathing freely and also helps with my seasonal allergies. It's not the most convenient treatment – I have to drive 30 minutes each way to get injections every two weeks – but it's worth it.

Phyllocontin for Allergic Asthma that is Resistant to Treatment

This injection has been a lifesaver for me. I've been taking it monthly for severe asthma for several years, and it's helped me immensely. I rarely need prednisone now, and while the injections can be a bit of a hassle to order and time, they're definitely worth it.

Phyllocontin for Allergic Asthma that is Resistant to Treatment

I've been having these injections for a little less than a year now, and at first they were great. But the last three times, I've had really severe asthma attacks the day after the injection that have taken weeks to recover from using Dacortin (prednisona). I'm going to talk to my consultant about it before getting the next injection. Has anyone else experienced this?

Phyllocontin for moderate persistent asthma

I took this medication because I am struggling with asthma and chronic urticaria. However, after the second day I started to experience chest tightness, diarrhea, and an increased heart rate. This was all very new to me as I've never tried this injection before.

Phyllocontin for Persistent Hives of Unknown Cause

I've had UCIs for about 10 years now, and no doctor has been able to tell me why. I was told that Xolair would be my cure, but after six shots, I'm still getting them just as frequently as before. Not only is this treatment ineffective, it's also very expensive.

All Sexes
Pittsburgh, PA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding Air Quality Index (AQI) information to asthma action plans works to improve asthma outcomes in children. It will also learn about children with asthma who report being more sensitive to outdoor air pollution. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does adding either information about the EPA-AQI or commercial AQI improve asthma outcomes over time? * Are there changes in nasal gene expression in children with asthma who report they are more sensitive to outdoor air pollution? Researchers will compare EPA-AQI and the commercial-AQI groups to a control group to either AQI works to improve asthma. Participants will: * Receive standardized outdoor air pollution education and an asthma action plan * Provide nose and blood specimens * Have visits every 4 weeks for 48 weeks, 10 will be conducted by telephone calls and 3 visits will be in person.

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.

Salbutamol for Athletic Performance

β2-Agonists, commonly used to treat asthma, have also been used by athletes to enhance performance, leading to their ban by the International Olympic Committee in 1972. Research has shown non-asthmatics receive no benefit from these drugs at therapeutic dosages; however, many elite athletes still use them, and asthmatic athletes often win more Olympic medals. In some non-asthmatics, β2-agonists may improve breathing limitations during high intensity exercise, which may improve performance. Therefore, we aim to examine if there is a select group of non-asthmatic individuals who experience breathing limitations that may receive benefit from β2-agonists.

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

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.
