Description

Aminophylline FTV 500 mg/mL (20 mL) is a medication primarily used in the management of respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchospasm. The solution contains 500 mg of aminophylline per milliliter, which is a compound of theophylline and ethylenediamine. Aminophylline works as a bronchodilator, helping to relax the muscles in the airways and improve airflow to the lungs.

The formulation is available in a 20 mL fill within a 50 mL flip-top vial, ensuring ease of use and accessibility. This dosage form allows for accurate delivery of the drug, particularly in emergency situations or during critical care. Aminophylline is often used when other bronchodilators or respiratory treatments are insufficient or inappropriate.

Aminophylline should be administered under strict medical supervision, with dosages adjusted based on the patient’s condition and response. The drug requires careful monitoring of blood levels to avoid adverse effects, such as tachycardia, arrhythmias, or seizures. It is important to assess kidney and liver function before and during treatment, as impaired organ function may affect aminophylline metabolism.
