Is a cellulite lotion which contains the asthma drug, aminophylline safe to use?
WILL THIS DRUG, EVEN IF USED TOPICALLY CAUSE A PERSON TO HAVE BREATHING PROBLEMS, ASTHMA, ETC. WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?

Answer by VeeBee
A very small amount of theophylline is absorbed by rubbing it on the thighs and unless you are allergic to the rest of the ingredients in the preparation, you should not have a problem. Typically it is used to reverse the symptoms of asthma when it is inhaled as a Rx aerosol. I never have understood how rubbing anything ion the skin can reduce the amount of fat contained adipose cells.
