[Pharmacokinetic research on theophylline].

Blood serum theophylline concentrations were studied in 6 volunteers and 8 patients with bronchospastic syndrome by using an enzyme immunological assay with a commercial kit "Fedesim" (USA) at intravenous and oral administration of euphylline in a dose of 5 mg/kg. The maximal concentration at intravenous injection of euphylline was reached in volunteers in 15 minutes, at oral administration--in 90 minutes, and in patients--somewhat later.
