A member asked:
What neurotransmitter does theophylline affect and how does it do this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Theophylline does not affect any neurotransmitter. It affects the levels of a signaling molecule in the cell that results in relaxation of smooth muscle. It's not a particularly effective treatment.
