Aminophylline - my stepmam takes these tablets and she has to get her blood levels checked every 3?

It is hard to say because it could be a number of things. Aminophylline needs to be monitored carefully because its therapeutic dose range is very close to its toxic range. Special caution and close monitoring is needed if there is a history of liver or kidney disease, congestive heart failure, smoking or if she is taking other medication that may interfere with aminophylline.

Ask your stepmother what they are checking.
