The dose should be reduced when this drug is used in combination with patients taking warfarin. 2. When used in combination with theophylline drugs, there is a synergistic effect, which will increase the efficacy and toxicity of theophylline. Therefore, the doses of theophylline and oxoxifylline must be adjusted. 3.
