OXTRIPHYLLINE vs THEOCLEAR-80
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Xanthine derivative that inhibits phosphodiesterase, increasing intracellular cyclic AMP; also antagonizes adenosine receptors, leading to bronchodilation and stimulation of respiratory drive.
Inhibits phosphodiesterase, increasing cAMP levels, leading to bronchodilation and reduced airway inflammation.
200 mg orally every 6 hours, or 400 mg orally every 8-12 hours; maximum 600 mg per dose.
Oral: 400-800 mg every 6-8 hours; extended-release formulation given every 12 hours. Target serum concentration 10-20 mcg/mL.

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.
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
3–8 hours in adults (mean ~5 h); prolonged in heart failure, liver disease, and COPD; decreased in smokers (4–5 h) and children.
Renal: ~70-80% as unchanged drug and metabolites (including theophylline); biliary/fecal: minimal (<10%)
Renal: approximately 10% unchanged; hepatic metabolism accounts for ~90% of elimination; metabolites excreted in urine.
