Theophylline LA (long-acting) is a medication used primarily to treat respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma by relaxing and opening air passages in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. It is a long-acting formulation of theophylline, which belongs to a class of drugs known as methylxanthines. The long-acting nature of this formulation allows for less frequent dosing compared to immediate-release versions.
