Pharmacokinetics of Theophylline in Rabbits Pretreated with Propranolol

This study was attempted to investigate the pharmacokinetics of theophylline (4 mg/kg i.v) in the rabbits pretreated with propranolol (1 and 2.5 mg/kg/hr, infusion) for four hours. The plasma concentration and AUC of theophylline were increased in rabbits pretreated with propranolol as compared with those of normal rabbits. The amount of cumulative urinary excretion and renal clearance and total body clearance were decreased in rabbits pretreated with propranolol as compared with those of normal rabbits. The apparent volume of distribution was slightly affected by change of the clearance of theophylline. From the results of this experiment, it is desirable that dosage regimen of theophylline should be adjusted when theophylline combined with propranolol in clinical pharmacy practice.
