Aminophylline
別名: Aminophylline
This medication is used to help your pet breathe easier by opening up the airways in the lungs. * **Give exactly as prescribed:** This drug has a narrow safety margin, meaning giving too much can easily cause toxicity. * **Side effects to watch for:** Contact your vet immediately if you notice vomiting, extreme restlessness, rapid heart rate, twitching, or seizures. * **Increased thirst/urination:** Your pet may drink and urinate more than usual; ensure they always have access to fresh water. * **Do not crush or chew:** If using modified-release tablets, they must be given whole.
