Theo-24 Coupon & Discounts

How do I take Theo-24?

Theo-24 is administered as a capsule that is taken orally, usually in 4-hour intervals. However, the actual dosing schedule will be determined by the doctor and will depend on the strength prescribed, the condition being treated, and the medical profile of the patient. Take the capsules with water on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating. Follow the dosing instructions exactly. Because this medication only controls symptoms but does not cure any disease, continue to take it even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Theo-24 without first contacting your healthcare provider.

What if I forget to take a dose of Theo-24?

If you forget your scheduled dose of Theo-24, take it as soon as you remember and are able, unless it is almost time for the next dose. In this instance, do not take the missed dose, but take the next dose at the scheduled time. Do not increase the number of capsules taken or change the regimen to make up for a dose that was missed.

What happens if I overdose on Theo-24?

In the event of an overdose of the Theo-24 drug, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. If the individual has stopped breathing or lost consciousness, call Emergency Services at 911.

• You are allergic to theophylline or any of the ingredients in Theo-24

• You are taking any medications, vitamins, or supplements

• You smoke or use tobacco products or have a history of alcohol abuse

What are the possible side effects of taking Theo-24?

As with any medication, side effects are possible after taking Theo-24. Mild side effects such as insomnia, restlessness, irritability, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, or an upset stomach need to be monitored if they appear. Contact your doctor if they do not get better or they worsen. Severe side effects requiring immediate medical attention include an allergic reaction, vomiting, tachycardia, arrhythmia, or a seizure.

How do I store Theo-24?

Keep Theo-24 tightly sealed in its container, out of the reach of children and away from excessive heat and humidity; bathroom storage is not recommended. Dispose of any unused or expired capsules according to the recommendations of your pharmacist.
