I just started this medication on 3-19-15 and I'm already able to breath better.
WhenI startedtaking this medication 10 years ago I never felt BETTER now I ahd to go to the straight theophilline I am not breathing at all..cannot figure out WHY you would take this off the Market and face a LAW suite do to the DEATHS from not having this MEDICATION
I have not had a asthma attack or hospital visit since 1989,NO OTHER TREATMENT!I like to know why the company is not making this drug any more.This is my only help with no side effects,what do i do know?
After 46 years of asthma I have been put on uniphyl and zafirlukast and have never felt better, I wish I had been prescribed it years ago !!!
My wife has been using it for 7-8 yrs. It's remarkable how much better she is when compared to the times she's been on Theodur- even the extended release form. The lung doc she saw said to spend the extra money for brand name Uniphyl. I am an ER doc and have used it on bad asthmatics, some who were already on another form of Theophylline, and 100% report great improvement.
Very good for decrease of wheezing for me. The past 8 years I haven't been on it but intend to see my lung doc about changing to it.
This medication has greatly improved my quality of life. I do not get winded as much as before and recuperate a lot faster
