Concomitant intake of methotrexate and theophylline contained in Baladex may lead to an increase in the concentration of theophylline in the blood. Theophylline is an example of a drug with a narrow therapeutic index, which means that the difference between its therapeutic and toxic concentration is small. Therefore, if it is necessary to use both drugs at the same time, it is necessary to remain under the strict supervision of a doctor who, if considered to be used, may recommend testing the level of theophline in the blood.
