Theophylline Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 1,3-Dimethylxanthine
Theophylline supplier in Malaysia for pharmaceutical manufacturing, laboratory and formulation buyers requiring 1,3-dimethylxanthine against a written quality specification. Theophylline is distinct from theobromine, caffeine and finished medicinal products, even though they may appear in the same methylxanthine category.
Commercial enquiries include anhydrous theophylline, material qualified for pharmaceutical manufacturing and reagent or analytical grades. Buyers can define the assay basis, related substances, moisture, particle-size distribution, residue, microbiological controls and required test methods.
Manufacturers use theophylline as an active or specialty formulation input, while laboratories require it for analysis, reference work and development. This page covers the bulk crystalline raw material and makes no therapeutic claim for a finished formulation.
Send the required physical form, grade, named quality specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documents and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

- Grade
- anhydrous, pharmaceutical, reagent, analytical
- Appearance
- white to off-white crystalline powder
Theophylline grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anhydrous theophylline | white to off-white crystalline powder with moisture basis specified | — | Pharmaceutical and specialty manufacturing that requires an anhydrous theophylline grade against defined identity, assay and related-substance controls. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Pharmaceutical manufacturing theophylline | crystalline powder to a buyer-defined manufacturing specification | — | Active-ingredient and formulation manufacture where the buyer states the named quality standard, particle size, impurity profile and document needs. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Reagent and analytical theophylline | crystalline powder with application-specific analytical purity | — | Laboratory analysis, reference work and formulation development that distinguishes theophylline from theobromine, caffeine and finished medicines. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Keep sealed in a cool, dry place and protect the powder from moisture, contamination and excessive heat. Follow the handling information supplied for the quoted grade.
Common questions about Theophylline
Is theophylline the same as theobromine?
No. They are different dimethylxanthine isomers with separate identities and specifications. Theophylline is 1,3-dimethylxanthine, while theobromine is a different positional isomer.
Is theophylline the same as caffeine?
No. Caffeine is another methylxanthine with a different substitution pattern. It may be controlled as a related compound but should not appear as an alias for theophylline.
What does anhydrous theophylline mean?
Anhydrous specifies the material's hydration form. State the moisture basis and required form in the enquiry because manufacturing calculations and receiving tests should match the quoted grade.
Which specifications matter for pharmaceutical theophylline?
Buyers commonly state the named quality standard, assay basis, related substances, moisture, residue, particle-size distribution, microbiological controls and required test methods.
Does this page cover finished theophylline medicines?
No. It covers theophylline as a bulk raw material. Tablets, capsules, liquids and other finished medicines contain additional components and need complete product and regulatory specifications.
What is needed for a theophylline quotation in Malaysia?
Provide the physical form, manufacturing or reagent grade, target quality specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention packing and document needs so they can be addressed with the quotation.
