BRONKOSOL vs OXTRIPHYLLINE
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Bronchodilator via beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonism, increasing intracellular cAMP, leading to smooth muscle relaxation in the airways.
Xanthine derivative that inhibits phosphodiesterase, increasing intracellular cyclic AMP; also antagonizes adenosine receptors, leading to bronchodilation and stimulation of respiratory drive.
2.5 mg (0.5 mL of 0.5% solution) via nebulization three to four times daily, as needed.
200 mg orally every 6 hours, or 400 mg orally every 8-12 hours; maximum 600 mg per dose.

Terminal elimination half-life is 3–4 hours; prolonged in hepatic impairment (up to 8 hours).
Clinical Note
moderateOxtriphylline + Deferasirox
"The serum concentration of Deferasirox can be increased when it is combined with Oxtriphylline."
Clinical Note
moderateOxtriphylline + Acemetacin
"The therapeutic efficacy of Acemetacin can be decreased when used in combination with Oxtriphylline."
Clinical Note
moderateOxtriphylline + Tenofovir disoproxil
"The metabolism of Tenofovir disoproxil can be decreased when combined with Oxtriphylline."
Clinical Note
moderateOxtriphylline + Clotrimazole
Adults: 3-5 hours (non-smokers); smokers: 4-6 hours; children: 1-4 hours; neonates: 20-30 hours; congestive heart failure or hepatic cirrhosis: prolonged up to 10-20 hours. Note: Oxtriphylline is a choline salt of theophylline, and its half-life reflects theophylline kinetics.
Primarily renal excretion as sulfate conjugates; unchanged drug accounts for <10% of excretion. Biliary/fecal excretion is minimal (<2%).
Renal: ~70-80% as unchanged drug and metabolites (including theophylline); biliary/fecal: minimal (<10%)
