Clinical evidence,mechanism, importance and management
Nefazodone 200mg twice daily for 7 days had no effect on pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of theophylline 600mg to 1.2 g daily in patients with chronic obstructive airways disease,nor was there any effect on their FEV1 values (See reference number 1). No special precautions would seem necessary if both drugs are used.
