Views on the appropriate use of theophylline in asthma management have varied substantially over the past decades. The recent emphasis on potential anti-inflammatory effects of theophylline has only added to the debate. In current guidelines, theophylline has been positioned mainly as a form of “add-on” therapy in moderate to severe persistent asthma. The purpose of this review is to analyze whether recent developments have been made that allow for a further positioning of theophylline in the treatment of asthma. |
