[Blood level values of rectally applied theophylline and its derivative proxyphylline and diprophylline in aqueous enema (author's transl)]. 1978

M L Schilt

Serum levels of theophylline and two of its oxypropylic derivatives were determined in repetitive blood samples after instillation of a mixture of the three substances by means of an aqueous enema. From the time course of serum levels a rapid onset of bronchodilation and rather a long-lasting bronchodilatory effect of about 8 h may be expected. Side effects are rare. The pharmacological characteristics of the three compounds are discussed.
