Detailed Answer:
Hi

I went through the query and understood your concern.

Deriphylline has narrow margin of safety. So better to check for the side effects like dyspepsia, insomnia, nervousness which will develop earlier later on restlessness, tremor can develop. If these symptoms visit emergency room for detoxification and symptomatic treatment.

For now if you have taken tablets just now better to vomit it out with emetics or gastric lavage to prevent further absorption.

Hope this helps you.
