The potential toxicity of theophylline preparations are well known, yet little attention has been paid to over-the-counter medications containing theophylline. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who presented with toxic effects of theophylline secondary to the use of an over-the-counter product for asthma. Many physicians may be unaware of the over-the-counter products that contain theophylline and may not be counseling their patients about potential risks associated with these medications.
茶碱制剂的潜在毒性是众所周知的，但含茶碱的非处方药物却很少受到关注。我们报告了一名44岁女性的病例，她因使用一种治疗哮喘的非处方产品而出现了茶碱中毒症状。许多医生可能并不知晓含茶碱的非处方产品，也可能没有就这些药物的潜在风险向患者提供咨询。
