Akolat treatment efficacy in childhood asthma
Abstract
Theraputic efficacy of Akolat was studied in 41 atopic asthma children. Treir age was from 9 to 14 years. Mild to moderate asthma course was in 34 patients, severe asthma course — in 7 children.Duration of Akolat treatment varied from 2 weeks to 6 months. Inhaled beta-agonists were used for resolution of asthmatic symptoms, if it was necessary. Akolat therapy was effective in 38 asthmatic patients (99.8%). The reduction of bronchial attacks frequency, relief of their course and nighttime cough stopping were recorded during the Akolat treatment. Akolat treatment assisted either standardization of lung ventilatory function or reduction of its disorders in 45.5% of patients. This medicine was more useful for children with mild to moderate bronchial asthma.
