I have been using tis drug for over 33 years now. Very strong side efffects for the first 2 weeks. They went away with time and have been stabalized for many years on 300 mg. twice a day. Dr discontinued for about a year and only medicine that helped me then was prednisone daily. Was able to d/c prednisone when theophylline restarted. Great medicine for my asthma!

Doctor perscribed medication for 300 and not 30mg. I ended up in the hospital with severe headache, dehyrdration, and vomitting. Overall the drug worked, but the overdose effected me in mostly negative ways.
