The disposition of theophylline was examined in seven children with asthma on two occasions before and on one occasion after chronic phenobarbital dosing (2 mg/kg/day). There was little intrapatient variability in apparent theophylline clearance between the two baseline assessments (0.081 versus 0.073 L/hr/kg). After 19 days of phenobarbital therapy, there was a significant increase in apparent theophylline clearance (0.104 versus 0.077 L/hr/kg), accompanied by a 30% decrease in the mean steady-state serum theophylline concentration (12.0 versus 8.4 micrograms/ml). The inducing effect of phenobarbital on theophylline metabolism may require theophylline dosage adjustment in patients with asthma who receive both drugs concurrently to maintain a given average steady-state theophylline concentration.
