Abstract

The pharmacokinetics of theophylline (i.v. aminophylline 250 mg) were studied in a balanced, double-blind crossover following the administration of oral temelastine (100 mg) or placebo, twice daily for 7 days, to 10 normal volunteers. Comparison of volumes of distribution, elimination rate constants, elimination half-lives and areas under the plasma concentration-time curve indicated that temelastine had no significant effect on theophylline pharmacokinetics.
