Is there an alternative ?
The pharmacy said do not under any circumstance cut the extended release tablets in half!!! This is dangerous and destroys the purpose of the medication!!
The FDA website said Endo Pharmaceuticals is the new manufacturer and it shows avaiable but it only supplies dosage sheets and no info on supply. Cannot get 200 mg er from any of the pharmacies within 50 mile radius.
Xopenex is also a bronchodilator. It is tiny vials that go into a nebulizer. Perhaps that may help you ??
This is what I will be doing if I can't get the Theophylline.
How can they just stop making something even if people need it to survive ?? !!!!!!!!!!!!
I am on Theophyline and havent heard about it being stopped. I am not sure if it working for me anyway. I am also on Vannair,and Salbutamol through the day and Spiriva at night Dont know at what stage my copd is at, and havent been asked to have any tests of any sort.
I take theophylline tablets twice a day i too have not heard they are being stoped .. will be investigating though
