Cromoglycate Assessed by Exercise Challenge
نویسندگان
چکیده
I. The protective effect of different particle sizes of sodium cromoglycate (SCG) was assessed by exercise challenge in nine asthmatic patients. 2. SCG particles of 11.7 pm or 2 0 pm mass median diameter were generated by a spinning disc and compared with lactose placebo particles. The drugs were given 10 min before a 6 min run on a treadmill. 3. The post-exercise bronchoconstriction caused a 48% fall in peak flow rate in the placebo test, a 41% fall after the large SCG particles and a 20% fall after the small particles. 4. It is concluded that the site of action of SCG is probably in the smallest airways.

Exercise-induced wheeze: Fraction of exhaled nitric oxide-directed management.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Exercise-induced wheeze (EIW) is common. Several treatment options exist. Patients with low fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (F(E)NO) are unlikely to be steroid-responsive and might benefit from non-steroidal therapies. We assessed: the efficacy of cromoglycate, formoterol and montelukast in patients with EIW and low F(E)NO (<35 ppb) in a randomized cross-over trial, an...
متن کاملAttenuation of exercise induced asthma by nedocromil sodium and sodium cromoglycate.
A randomized double blind cross over trial to compare nedocromil sodium and sodium cromoglycate with placebo in the prevention of exercise induced asthma was conducted. Twenty asthmatics received nedocromil sodium, sodium cromoglycate or placebo via metered dose inhalers on successive days 30 minutes before exercise in a randomized order. Nedocromil sodium and sodium cromoglycate gave sufficien...
متن کاملDose-response study of sodium cromoglycate in exercise-induced asthma.
Ten patients with exercise-induced asthma participated in a single-blind dose-response study comparing the protective effect of inhaled sodium cromoglycate in increasing concentrations from 2 to 40 mg/ml. Saline was used as a control. Effects were assessed from the mean maximal percentage fall in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) after the patients had run on a treadmill for eight m...
متن کاملChange in osmolarity of disodium cromoglycate solution and protection against exercise-induced bronchospasm in children with asthma.
It has been suggested that osmolarity and/or nebulizer output may affect the protective effects of disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) in asthma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of osmolarity of the DSCG solution on exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) in children with bronchial asthma. A jet nebulizer was used for DSCG inhalation in Study 1 and an ultrasonic nebulizer in Study 2. T...
متن کاملDose-response effect of sodium cromoglycate pressurised aerosol in exercise induced asthma.
The effects of 2, 10, and 20 mg of sodium cromoglycate delivered by aerosol were compared with those of placebo in a double blind study in 11 patients with extrinsic and exercise induced asthma. The effect of nebulised sodium cromoglycate delivered through a Wright nebuliser (estimated dose 12 mg) was also studied. Patients exercised on a treadmill for six to eight minutes at submaximal work lo...
