Rationale:Many childhood psychiatric disorders, such as autism, intellectual disability, developmental learning disorders, some language disorders (e.g., dyslexia), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Tourette's syndrome, appear to be genetically transmitted.

The patient has been suffering from irritation of the bronchioles.

Theophylline falls under the category of analeptics, which are central nervous system (CNS) stimulants. This medication is provided to adult patients for the relaxation of the bronchioles. Phenylpropanolamine, which belongs to the anorexiants category, used to be prescribed to patients suffering from colds, but it has been removed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Both lipase inhibitors and anorexiants are used for fighting obesity and weight loss, respectively. Caffeine is administered to infants suffering from respiratory problems, and respiratory stimulants such as Doxapram (Dopram) are used to treat respiratory depression caused by drug overdose, preanesthetic and postanesthetic respiratory depression, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults.
