mjl1717..thanks for the reponse...now thinking of it I think it is def theophylline!...cause I looked up caffeine and it causes HR and contractility, weak diuretic and relaxes smooth muscles of bronchioles. Since both caffeine and theophylline are from the same family of methylxanthines...i think it will be the only closest ans...thanks.
