Lack of effect of amoxicillin on theophylline pharmacokinetics. 1985

J H Jonkman, and W J van der Boon, and R Schoenmaker, and A Holtkamp, and J Hempenius

The effect of the antibiotic drug amoxicillin on steady state pharmacokinetics of theophylline was studied in healthy adults by comparing the pharmacokinetic parameters as found during a 9 day course of theophylline alone and as obtained during comedication with amoxicillin. Theophylline plasma concentrations were measured by means of h.p.l.c. analysis. On the ninth day of each of the two periods of drug administration a concentration-time curve was evaluated. It showed no influence of amoxicillin on absorption, elimination and volume of distribution of theophylline, as a result of which mean steady state plasma concentrations were not significantly different during both treatments. It is concluded that both drugs can be given concomitantly without any dosage adjustment of theophylline.

D013806 Theophylline A methyl xanthine derivative from tea with diuretic, smooth muscle relaxant, bronchial dilation, cardiac and central nervous system stimulant activities. Theophylline inhibits the 3',5'-CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHODIESTERASE that degrades CYCLIC AMP thus potentiates the actions of agents that act through ADENYLYL CYCLASES and cyclic AMP. 1,3-Dimethylxanthine,3,7-Dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione,Accurbron,Aerobin,Aerolate,Afonilum Retard,Aquaphyllin,Armophylline,Bronchoparat,Bronkodyl,Constant-T,Elixophyllin,Euphylong,Glycine Theophyllinate,Lodrane,Monospan,Nuelin,Nuelin S.A.,Quibron T-SR,Slo-Phyllin,Somophyllin-T,Sustaire,Synophylate,Theo Von Ct,Theo-24,Theo-Dur,Theobid,Theocin,Theoconfin Continuous,Theodur,Theolair,Theolix,Theon,Theonite,Theopek,Theophylline Anhydrous,Theophylline Sodium Glycinate,Theospan,Theostat,Theovent,Uniphyl,Uniphyllin,Uniphylline,1,3 Dimethylxanthine,Anhydrous, Theophylline,Constant T,ConstantT,Ct, Theo Von,Glycinate, Theophylline Sodium,Quibron T SR,Quibron TSR,Slo Phyllin,SloPhyllin,Sodium Glycinate, Theophylline,Somophyllin T,SomophyllinT,Theo 24,Theo Dur,Theo24,Theophyllinate, Glycine,Von Ct, Theo
