aminophylline [am″ĭ-no-fil´in] a mixture of theophylline and ethylenediamine, acting as a respiratory stimulant, smooth muscle relaxant, myocardial stimulant, and diuretic. It is used as a bronchodilator and also as an antidote to dipyridamole toxicity. Administration may be oral, intramuscular, intravenous, or rectal. If intravenous administration is too rapid it can cause circulatory collapse. Intramuscular administration should be done with caution because aminophylline is very irritating to the tissues. Oral administration must also be cautious because there could be gastric or urinary irritation.aminophylline (theophylline, ethylenediamine) Amnivent (UK), Phyllocontin (UK) Pharmacologic class: Xanthine Therapeutic class: Bronchodilator Pregnancy risk category C Action Unclear. Thought to directly relax smooth muscle of bronchial airways and increase pulmonary blood flow by inhibiting phosphodiesterase.

Smoking: increased aminophylline elimination Patient monitoring See Monitor aminophylline blood level. Adjust dosage if patient has signs or symptoms of toxicity (tachycardia, headache, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, and irritability). • Assess for arrhythmias, especially after giving loading dose. • Check vital signs and fluid intake and output. • Monitor patient's response to drug, and assess pulmonary function test results. Patient teaching • Advise patient to take oral doses at meals with 8 oz of water. • Caution patient to avoid driving and other hazardous activities until he knows how drug affects concentration and alertness. • Tell patient to minimize GI upset by eating small, frequent servings of food and drinking plenty of fluids. • Advise patient to establish effective bedtime routine to minimize insomnia. • Caution patient not to change aminophylline brands. • If patient smokes, tell him to notify prescriber if he stops smoking; dosage may need to be adjusted. • As appropriate, review all other significant and life-threatening adverse reactions and interactions, especially those related to the drugs, tests, herbs, and behaviors mentioned above. a·mi·no·phyl·line (ă-me-nō'fil'in), A solubilized form of theophylline; a diuretic, vasodilator, and cardiac stimulant; also used as a bronchodilator in asthma and in veterinary medicine.
