i tried them all for my fife and marax worked well for him, but you need to watch the dose if you give to much the heart can start to race, I had it compounded at an equine pharmacy that is the only place that still makes it as it is not banned in the animal world. I can only tell you what worked for fife. The theophylline i always had filled at my vet he was on 3/4 of a 100mg tab he was about 7 pounds, i dont recall what i paid for it but dont recall is being that expensive.
