Major Lifestyle Interaction

Tobacco smoke contains substances that may speed the removal of Theophylline or Aminophylline from the body; if you start smoking, the Theophylline or Aminophylline may become less effective. Just the opposite occurs when someone stops smoking tobacco; if you stop smoking this may increase the amount of Theophylline or Aminophylline in the blood. Side effects from Theophylline, Aminophylline may get worse. Too much Theophylline or Aminophylline can cause nausea, nervousness, or sleeplessness, and occasionally other effects like rapid heartbeat, tremor, or seizures. Notify your prescriber if any of these effects occur. Your prescriber may need to closely monitor the blood level of Theophylline whenever a change in tobacco smoking occurs, so inform your prescriber if you are a smoker or if you are going to stop smoking.
