An evaluation of a controlled-release aminophylline tablet (Phyllocontin Continus) as a concomitant therapy in patients receiving salbutamol.

In a double-blind crossover trial on forty chronic bronchitics Phyllocontin Continus tablets were shown to produce a greater improvement in objective lung function tests than Ventolin tablets. A combination of Ventolin tablets and Phyllocontin tablets were found to produce a greater effect than either drug alone. Changes in objective measurements were not paralleled by the patients' subjective opinions.
