Quality of life in bronchial asthma patients: influence of nedocromil sodium (tilade)
Abstract
The aim of this research was the estimation of quality of life in bronchial asthma patients before and after 3 month treatments with anti-inflammatory antiasthmatic agent — nedocromil sodium (Tilade). 20 patients with mild and moderate BA were investigated by routine clinical and functional tests, content of total IgE assessed. For assessing of quality of life E.Juniper’s Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ), and short and simple AQ20 (F.H. Quirk, P .W .Jones, 1994) questionnaires were used. Tilade has been prescribed 2 puffs twice daily corresponding to a daily dosage of 8 mg nedocromil sodium. Tilade led to a significant reduction in the incidence of asthma attacks and cough, wakening in the night due to dyspnoe. During treatment with tilade improvement and normalisation of bronchial patency revealed. Tilade decreased the blood level of total IgE. Thus, nedocromil sodium (tilade) was finding in patients with mild and moderate asthma as the effective antiasthmatic drug, which improve quality of life in asthma patients.
