Influences of pyrexia and age on theophylline clearance in young children with asthma.

This study showed that the presence of pyrexia decreases theophylline clearance, and that it affects theophylline clearance in an age-dependent manner. Based on the results of this study, dosages should be designed based on the clearance at the time of pyrexia. PMID: 22702215 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
