Protection against methacholine-induced bronchospasm: salbutamol pMDI versus Clickhaler DPI.
Passive dry-powder inhalers (DPIs) have been developed as an alternative to pressurised metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs) to improve aerosol delivery on inhalation and eliminate the need for propellants. However, new DPI formulations of generic drugs must be rigorously compared with conventional pMDI therapy. This randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, seven-way crossover study...
متن کاملProtection of leukotriene receptor antagonist against aspirin-induced bronchospasm in asthmatics
PURPOSE Leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) are used to treat aspirin-intolerant asthma (AIA); however, the protective effects of long-term LTRA administration against aspirin-induced bronchospasm have not been evaluated. OBJECTIVES We investigated the efficacy of a 12-week treatment with a LTRA in protecting against aspirin-induced asthma in AIA patients. METHODS Fifty-two adult patie...
متن کاملEffect of single doses of S-salbutamol, R-salbutamol, racemic salbutamol, and placebo on the airway response to methacholine.
BACKGROUND Commercially available salbutamol is a racemic mixture consisting of equal amounts of the two enantiomers, R-salbutamol and S-salbutamol, felt to be active and inert, respectively. METHODS A double blind, randomised, four way, crossover study was performed in 12 well controlled asthmatic subjects (forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) > 70% predicted, no beta 2 agonists for...
متن کاملComparison of formoterol, salbutamol and salmeterol in methacholine-induced severe bronchoconstriction.
The onset of the bronchodilating effect of formoterol (12 microg by Turbuhaler) was compared with that of salbutamol (50 microg by Turbuhaler), salmeterol (50 microg by Diskhaler) and placebo in methacholine-induced severe bronchoconstriction. Seventeen subjects with mild-to-moderate asthma completed this randomized, double blind, cross-over, double-dummy study. On four study days, baseline for...
متن کاملSaffron Protection against Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Rats
Background: Bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis has been accepted as an animal model for fibrosis in rats. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of saffron aqueous extract on this disorder paving the way for more investigation in treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in human. Methods: Male Wistar rats (250–300 gr) were instilled a single dose of bleomycin (5 mg/kg) via in...
