Audit of serum theophylline concentrations in patients from general practice

J C Howard. J R Coll Gen Pract. 1987 Mar.

Abstract

From the repeat prescription register of a British general practice, 37 patients regularly taking theophylline preparations were identified. Measurement of their serum theophylline concentration showed that less than 25% of these patients were achieving a theophylline concentration in the therapeutic range. Reasons for this are discussed.
