Theophylline comes in the form of an extended-release table to take by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once a day in the morning or evening. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Doing so can release all the drug at once, increasing side effects risk. The tablet should be swallowed whole tablet with a full glass of water. Scored tablets may be split into two equal parts, if necessary, based on the healthcare provider’s recommendation.
The recommended dosage of Theophylline ER (Extended Release) 24-hour scored tablet can vary depending on the patient’s age, weight, medical history, and response to treatment. Follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider. However, the general dosing range for Theophylline ER 24-hour scored tablet is 400-600 mg per day, taken once or twice daily.
If you miss a dose of Uniphyl SR, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
