Theophylline (Uniphyl) is a medication that is used for bronchodilation in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It can cause increased heart rate and nervousness, and caffeine can exacerbate these side effects. Therefore, clients taking theophylline should be cautioned against ingesting caffeine-containing products. Cromolyn, beclomethasone, and salmeterol do not have caffeine intake restrictions.
