Theophylline anhydrous injection viaflex is an intravenously administered form of theophylline. This prescription drug is used to treat asthma and other lung conditions, such as emphysema and bronchitis, that make it difficult to breathe. Theophylline relaxes the muscles of the chest and lungs allowing more air to move through the air passages of the lungs.
