Theo Asthalin Tablet (Salbutamol / Theophylline)
Price range: $2.40 through $6.50
Theo Asthalin Tablet (Salbutamol / Theophylline) is a prescription medicine for asthma and bronchospasm that can cause wheeze, cough, and chest tightness. Salbutamol relaxes airway muscles, and theophylline helps keep airways open longer. It may be used when inhalers alone do not fully control symptoms. Not for sudden attacks. Use only as your prescriber directs.

About Theo Asthalin Tablet (Salbutamol / Theophylline)
Theo Asthalin Tablet (Salbutamol / Theophylline) is an oral bronchodilator combination that’s meant to make breathing easier when your airways tighten up.
People usually look for medicines like this when they deal with recurring wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or cough related to asthma or other bronchospastic conditions.
It’s not the same as a daily steroid inhaler, and it’s also not a “quick fix” substitute for a rescue inhaler during a sudden attack.
What this medicine is and why it’s prescribed
This tablet combines two bronchodilators that work in different ways:
- Salbutamol (also called albuterol) helps relax the smooth muscle around the airways, which can improve airflow.
- Theophylline supports bronchodilation through a separate pathway and is often used for longer, steadier control in some patients.
Because it’s a combination, some prescribers use it when symptoms are frequent, when nighttime breathing issues are a problem, or when inhaled therapy alone is not giving enough control. The right treatment plan depends on your diagnosis, triggers, and how often your symptoms occur.
What you may notice when it’s working
When Theo Asthalin Tablet is a good fit, people often describe:
- Less wheezing and chest tightness
- Easier breathing with routine activity
- Fewer episodes of “tight” breathing patterns, especially at certain times of day
Relief and timing can vary from person to person. Also, theophylline effects may be more sensitive to individual differences, so follow-up is important.
Side effects of Theo Asthalin Tablet
Like other bronchodilators, this medicine can cause side effects, especially when starting it or if the dose is higher than your body tolerates. Commonly reported ones include:
- Shakiness or tremor
- Feeling “wired,” restless, or having trouble sleeping
- Headache
- Upset stomach, nausea
- Fast heartbeat or palpitations
Get medical help right away if you have severe chest pain, fainting, severe dizziness, or worsening breathing that does not respond to your rescue plan.
Important precautions
Make sure your prescriber knows if you have a history of:
- Heart rhythm problems or significant heart disease
- Seizures
- Stomach ulcers or ongoing severe reflux
- Liver disease
- Thyroid conditions
This medication is prescription-only for a reason. Theophylline, in particular, can require closer monitoring in some patients.
Available strengths and other dosage options
The strengths of Asthalin Tablets (Salbutamol/Theophylline) can vary by manufacturer and market. Commonly seen combinations include:
- Salbutamol 2 mg + Theophylline 100 mg
- Salbutamol 4 mg + Theophylline 200 mg
Some manufacturers also sell sustained-release theophylline products (not always in combination form). If you are switching strengths, do not assume they are interchangeable. Your prescriber may adjust dosing based on symptoms and tolerability.
Alternatives already available in the market
If Theo Asthalin Tablet is not the best match, clinicians may consider alternatives depending on the condition and severity. Examples include:
Same or similar ingredient options
- Albuterol (salbutamol) oral tablets (available in some markets)
- Theophylline extended-release tablets/capsules (various strengths)
Common inhaled options (often preferred for many patients)
- Albuterol inhalers (for quick relief), such as Ventolin or ProAir (availability can change)
- Levalbuterol inhaler/nebuliser (Xopenex)
- Inhaled corticosteroids for control (examples include fluticasone)
- Combination controller inhalers like budesonide/formoterol (Symbicort Turbohaler 160 mcg) or fluticasone/salmeterol (Advair)
These are not one-to-one swaps. Your prescriber chooses based on lung function, symptom pattern, and safety profile.
FAQs About Theo Asthalin Tablet
Can I drink coffee or energy drinks while taking Theo Asthalin Tablet?
Keep caffeine low. Caffeine can add to theophylline effects and worsen jitters, fast heartbeat, nausea, or insomnia. If you feel shaky or get palpitations, cut back and tell your prescriber.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
Take it when you remember. If it’s close to the next dose, skip the missed one. Don’t double doses.
Can I cut, crush, or chew the tablet?
Only if a pharmacist or prescriber says it’s safe for your exact tablet. If it’s an extended-release product, crushing or chewing can increase the risk of side effects.
How should I store this medicine?
Store at room temperature, in a dry place, away from heat and light. Avoid humid places like bathrooms. Keep tightly closed and out of reach of kids.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Ask your prescriber. Treatment may be needed for breathing control, but theophylline can reach the baby and pass into breast milk, so dosing and monitoring may matter.
