Prevention of viral induced asthma attacks using inhaled budesonide.
Thirty two preschool children were entered into a double blind, placebo controlled study using intermittent budesonide to treat viral induced wheeze. Active treatment was either 800 micrograms twice a day via a spacer or 1600 micrograms twice a day via a spacer and facemask in those children too young to use a mouthpiece. Treatment was started at the onset of an upper respiratory tract infectio...
متن کاملOptimal asthma control, starting with high doses of inhaled budesonide.
The aim of this study was to determine whether outcomes in poorly controlled asthma can be further improved with a starting dose of inhaled budesonide higher than that recommended in international guidelines. The study had a parallel-group design and included 61 subjects with poorly controlled asthma, randomized to receive 3,200 microg or 1,600 microg budesonide daily by Turbuhaler for 8 weeks ...
متن کاملA comparison of low-dose inhaled budesonide plus theophylline and high-dose inhaled budesonide for moderate asthma.

We compared the benefits of adding theophylline to inhaled glucosteroid with those of doubling the dose of inhaled glucosteroid in patients with persistent symptoms despite the use of inhaled glucosteroid. METHODS In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we randomly assigned 62 patients to receive eith...

متن کاملRandomised controlled trial of montelukast plus inhaled budesonide versus double dose inhaled budesonide in adult patients with asthma.
BACKGROUND Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) affect many inflammatory pathways in asthma but have little impact on cysteinyl leukotrienes. This may partly explain persistent airway inflammation during chronic ICS treatment and failure to achieve adequate asthma control in some patients. This double blind, randomised, parallel group, non-inferiority, multicentre 16 week study compared the clinical b...
