The efficiency of chronic treatment with salmeterol in patients with bronchial asthma
Abstract
The efficiency of chronic treatment with salmeterol was estimated in 11 patients with mild and moderate bronchial asthma in remission stage. Salmeterol was unhaled via a diskhaler (Glaxo Gmbh, Bad Oldesloe, Germany) in dose of 50 mkg/puff twice a day during 4 weeks.
After regular treatment with salmeterol in patients with asthma, it was found significant increase in pulmonary function parameters (6.0% in FVC, 6.5% in FEV1, 9.0% in FEF25, 40.9% in sGaw, and 20.8% decrease in RV) and airways hystamin sensitivity decrease (the increase of PD20 logarithmic value in 0.6 mg/ml, p<0.05). That corresponds to the PD20 increase at 2.87 times in average. During the whole treatment period, the stable remission was noted in the patients.
During the prolonged use, salmeterol is high effective remedy for patients with mild and moderate bronchial asthma.
