What is the most important information I should know about guaifenesin and theophylline?
 |
Do not crush or chew any extended-release formulation of guaifenesin and theophylline. Swallow the medication whole. It is specially formulated to release slowly in your body. If you do not know whether you have an extended-release formulation, ask your pharmacist. |
Call your doctor right away if you experience nausea, vomiting, insomnia, restlessness, seizures, an increased heart rate, or a headache. These symptoms could be signs of too much theophylline in your blood.
 |
Do not start or stop smoking without first talking to your doctor. Smoking changes the way your body uses theophylline, and you may need a dosage adjustment. |
Do not take more of this medicine than is prescribed without consulting your doctor. Seek medical attention if you are having increasingly difficult breathing.
