Has anyone had any serious side effects taking Theophylline 600mg ER Tablets?
I was just prescribed Theophylline 600mg ER Tablets for my COPD, and I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects. I've read about some serious ones, and I'm curious if anyone here has had any bad experiences or if it's generally well-tolerated. My doctor said they would monitor my blood levels, but any firsthand accounts would be really helpful. How often do side effects manifest in your bodies?

Make sure to avoid foods that can interfere with the medicine, like chocolate and caffeine!
I had some muscle cramps and an irregular heartbeat at first, but those went away after adjusting the dose. Definitely talk to your doctor if you feel anything unusual.
I had a really bad reaction—severe dizziness and confusion. It was scary, but after stopping the meds and getting treatment, I was fine. Be cautious and stay in touch with your doctor.
I had no idea about the potential side effects until I started taking it. It's important to keep a list and be aware of what to watch for.
