How should I take dyphylline?

Take dyphylline exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

Take each dose with a full glass of water.

You can take dyphylline with food to lessen stomach upset.

Take your doses at the same time every day to keep a constant level of dyphylline in your blood.

Shake the liquid forms of this medication well before use. To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the liquid with a dose-measuring cup or spoon, not a regular tablespoon. If a spoon or cup is not provided with the medication and you do not have one, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.

Do not switch to another brand or a generic form of dyphylline without the approval of your doctor.

Store dyphylline at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
