Is a cellulite lotion which contains the asthma drug, aminophylline safe to use?, WILL THIS DRUG, EVEN IF USED TOPICALLY CAUSE A PERSON TO HAVE BREATHING PROBLEMS, ASTHMA, ETC. WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?

A very small amount of theophylline is absorbed by rubbing it on the thighs and unless you are allergic to the rest of the ingredients in the preparation, you should not have a problem. Typically it is used to reverse the symptoms of asthma when it is inhaled as a Rx aerosol. I never have understood how rubbing anything ion the skin can reduce the amount of fat contained adipose cells.

You only stock the 250mg/5ml strength. How many teaspoons would be needed for one dose? How many mls would be needed to fill the entire prescription?

It depends on the doctor's order.

To parents with babies who have taken aminophylline...?, My premature son has been taking aminophylline for apnea and bradycardia for several weeks now, and it's almost time for him to stop. I am a little nervouse about it, but my main question is, if your baby has taken it, did you notice a difference in their sleep patterns, as the medication is a central nervous system stimulant.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

My premature son who is now almost 10 months used Aminophylline when he was 2 months till he was 5 months old, and when he stopped there were no problems until he started teething 4 or 5 weeks later. So don't worry.

Good luck.

what is the correct dosage to be given if the doctor's order is 20mg aminophylline IVTT.Stock is 25mg/ml 10ml?,

0.8 ml

(20 mg) / (25 mg per ml) = 0.8 cc

IVTT is not a standard abbreviation. If this is meant to be given as an iV injection (pushed), you would draw up 0.8 ml of the 10 ml ampule. If this is to be given as a constant infusion, say over 20 minutes in 50 cc of D5W, it would be injected into a 50 cc bag of D5W and run at 150 cc/hr for 20 minutes

How many mL will you prepare for a patient who weighs 180 pounds?, Liquid aminophylline is labeled 105mg/5mL
Order: Administer 5mg/kg
How many mL will you prepare for a patient who weighs 180 pounds?

I answered the question but worked it two different ways to see the first answer I got is 5 and the second way I worked it was 19.5.

Divide 180 by 2.2, then multiply that by 5, then administer the appropriate milliliters.

It's 105mg per teaspoonful.

Of course, I would ask a pharmacist just to be sure.
