sulfinpyrazone oxtriphylline

Applies to: sulfinpyrazone, Choledyl (oxtriphylline)

In one study, concomitant administration of sulfinpyrazone resulted in a 22% increase in total theophylline clearance. Changes noted in the elimination of theophylline included an increase in metabolism and a decrease in renal excretion. The clinical significance of this interaction is unknown. If sulfinpyrazone and theophylline are given together, clinical monitoring of patient response and serum theophylline levels is recommended. Patients should be advised to report worsening of their respiratory symptoms to their physician.
